The lecture will focus on new technologies for endoscopic surgery based on ultrasonic imaging. Typical high-frequency ultrasound resolution of 30-100 microns can be achieved in soft tissue over a penetration depth of 10-20 mm.  The short penetration depth and high resolution, make high-frequency ultrasound particularly suitable for use in guided endoscopic surgery. Such an approach has become standard of care for a very large number of surgical procedures including those of the brain, colon, pancreas, uterus, bowel, etc.
