Trends in Pancreatic Pathology Practice Before and After Implementation of Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration: An Example of Disruptive Innovation Effect?

Isam A. Eltoum, Evans A. Alston, Janie Roberson · 2012 · Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine

Summary. This paper is about medical pathology practice, not rural innovation. It examines how endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration changed pancreatic disease diagnosis in a hospital laboratory over 20 years, showing the technique improved diagnostic accuracy and reduced the need for tissue biopsies. The work has no connection to rural innovation, agricultural technology, or rural development.
