BACKGROUND: Initial clinical applications have shown that US elastography might be able
to distinguish tissues because of their specific consistency. OBJECTIVE:(1) To investigate …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: By using strain assessment, real-time endoscopic ultrasound
(EUS) elastography provides additional information about a lesion's characteristics in the …

Sonoelastography is based on the knowledge that some diseases, such as cancer, lead to a
change in tissue hardness. Elastography examines the elastic properties of tissues by …

Ultrasonographic elastography is a modality used to visualize the elastic properties of
tissues. Technological advances in ultrasound equipment have supported the evaluation of …

Results: Adequate EUS-elastography of the pancreas was performed in all healthy controls
but in only 56% of patients with solid pancreatic lesions. The main limitation of elastographic …

The differential diagnosis of focal pancreatic lesions is extensive and includes both benign
and malignant conditions. Confirming the diagnosis can be difficult and usually requires …

Elastography is an imaging modality for the evaluation of tissue stiffness, which has been
used for the analysis of superficial organs, such as those of the breast and prostate. The …

Strain elastography as used in EUS (EUS-real-time tissue elastography [RTE]) is a
qualitative technique and provides information on the relative stiffness between one tissue …

A 25-year-old woman was admitted with a history of fever of unknown origin, hepatomegaly,
and elevated liver biochemical tests. Multislice CT (MSCT) showed multiple focal liver …

BACKGROUND: EUS elastography is a newly developed imaging procedure that
characterizes the differences of hardness and strain between diseased and normal tissue …
