Shear Wave Elastography Versus Strain Elastography With Histogram Analysis in Solid Pancreatic Lesions

Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy100 enrolled

Overview

to assess the diagnostic value of strain elastography EUS and shear wave EUS in solid pancreatic lesions

Three measurements of strain ratio elastography and three measurements of shear wave elastography with VPN\> 20% will be performed in the same solid pancreatic lesions. The results will be compared in the groups of adenocarcinomas, neuroendocrine tumors and benign solid pancreatic lesions.
