I have to go for a eus test tommorow i was just courois if the eus test would pick up something that cat scan or mri would miss?

Yes: The endoscopic ultrasound is capable of visualizing small lesions which might not be apparent on ct or mri. This is because the probe is brought right next to the area of interest and higher frequency probes can be used which provide higher resolution than can be obtained with trans-abdominal scanning.
