This manuscript describes the use of ultrasound elastography, with the exception of liver
applications, and represents an update of the 2013 EFSUMB (European Federation of …

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

Ultrasound elastography (USE) of the pancreas allows pancreatic tissue stiffness
assessment by virtual palpation. Two main types of USE are used. For the pancreas strain …

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 …

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is pathologically characterized by the loss of exocrine pancreatic
parenchyma, irregular fibrosis, cellular infiltration, and ductal abnormalities. Diagnosing CP …

During the aging process, typical morphological changes occur in the pancreas, which leads
to a specific “patchy lobular fibrosis in the elderly.” The aging process in the pancreas is …

Purpose To define normal pancreas elasticity and velocity values with shear wave
elastography (SWE) in healthy children and assess associations with gender, age, and body …

Results: The mean SWV of the pancreas in the control group was 1.21±0.27 m/s. Data
regarding the pathological parenchyma indicated an increase of the SWV at the tumoral …

As part of the aging process, fibrotic changes, fatty infiltration, and parenchymal atrophy
develop in the pancreas. The pancreatic duct also becomes wider with age. This article …

Brain imaging technology is widely used in the diagnosis of brain diseases. Computed
tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are the most common imaging modalities …
