Endoscopic Ultrasound Basics - Gl wall structure- how many layers?

1st layer - hyperechoic - corresponds to the superficial mucosa

2nd layer - hypoechoic - corresponds to the deep mucosa

3rd layer - hyperechoic - corresponds to the submucosa plus the acoustical interface between the submucosa and the muscularis propria

4th layer - hypoechoic - corresponds to the muscularis propria minus the acoustical interface between the submucosa and the musclaris propria

5th layer - hyperechoic - Serosa, subserosal fat
