Core Tip	Contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasound, elastography and needle confocal laser endomicroscopy represent new, emerging technologies for improving the diagnosis obtained using endoscopic ultrasonography. This paper reviews the principle, indications, main literature results, limitations and future expectations for each of these methods, such as their use in the guidance or orientation of endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration, molecular imaging and neurophysiology assessment in gastroenterology.
