Endoscopic ultrasound elastography for solid pancreatic lesions
Elastography is one of technologies assisting diagnosis of solid pancreatic lesions (SPL). This technology has been previously used for measuring the stiffness of various organs based on a principle of "harder the lesions, higher chance for malignancy". Two elastography techniques; strain and shear wave elastography, are available. For endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), only the former is existing. T...
متن کاملReal time endoscopic ultrasound elastography and strain ratio in the diagnosis of solid pancreatic lesions
AIM To evaluate the accuracy of the elastography score combined to the strain ratio in the diagnosis of solid pancreatic lesions (SPL). METHODS A total of 172 patients with SPL identified by endoscopic ultrasound were enrolled in the study to evaluate the efficacy of elastography and strain ratio in differentiating malignant from benign lesions. The semi quantitative score of elastography was...
متن کاملEndoscopic Ultrasound Elastography for Pancreatic Cancer Diagnosis: A Step Forward?
(EUS) is not only useful for providing excellent images for detection and staging of pancreatic cancer; it also provides guidance for fine needle aspiration (FNA) and biopsies detected during a standard procedure. Overall accuracy of EUS-FNA can be considered excellent, with sensitivities between 80% and 85%, and specificities close to 100%. However, differentiation between pancreatic cancer an...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound in diagnosis of solid pancreatic lesions: Elastography or contrast-enhanced harmonic alone versus the combination
Background and study aims Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography (EUS-E) and contrast-enhanced harmonic EUS (CH-EUS) are useful methods for the diagnosis of pancreatic lesions. This study aims to compare the accuracy of combined EUS-E and CH-EUS with that of EUS-E or CH-EUS alone in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic solid lesions. Patients and methods One hundred thirty-six patient...
متن کاملThe effect of solid pancreatic mass lesions on pancreatic duct diameter at endoscopic ultrasound
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of solid pancreatic masses on the pancreatic duct (PD) at the endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and the relationship of the location/size of a mass and PD dilation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who underwent EUS for pancreatic indications from 2011 to 2013 at a single center were retrospectively identified. Those with biopsies that revealed adenocarcinoma or neur...
