IEC (Italian Endosonography Club) was founded in 2002 with the aim to bring together in one association the still few Italian endoscopists who dedicated themselves to endosonography or were willing to start.

We believe that it is of common interest to connect colleagues dealing with endosonography, in order to exchange views on clinical, technical and administrative issues related to EUS.
Through our association we also wish to promote endosonography among doctors who do not know it yet, so that they can refer their patients with ever more targeted and appropriate indications.

Lastly, we consider that the establishment of a motivated and compact group, which shares the passion for a still niche instrumental method, will give greater importance to endosonography within hospitals, universities and other scientific organizations.
From our site you can view the statute of the IEC, the centers where members of the IEC perform endosonography in Italy, teaching materials, technical information on instrumentation, announcement about meetings and conferences, literature updates and much more.
