How Does Endoscopy Compare to Other Diagnostic Tools in Toxicology?
Endoscopy provides a unique advantage over other diagnostic tools such as radiography or ultrasound by offering a clear and direct view of the mucosal surfaces of the gastrointestinal tract. While imaging techniques can suggest the presence of abnormalities, endoscopy allows for direct visualization and intervention. However, it is more invasive and resource-intensive compared to imaging and is therefore used selectively.
