Virtual reality obtained by the fusion of images can be applied to several fields of medicine leading to the so called "augmented reality". Since 2017 investigators have been using a new digital angiographic system (Discovery IGS 40, General Electrics), where fluoroscopy can be fused with pre-procedural CT o MRI. Specifically the present study aimed at verifying the advantages that fusion imaging could bring in EUS-guided drainage of post-pancreatitis fluid collection (PFC), i.e. pseudocysts or WON, in terms of more appropriate visualization, drainage approach and time needed for resolution.
