AIM: To evaluate the ability of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography to distinguish
benign from malignant pancreatic masses and lymph nodes. METHODS: A multicenter study …

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography is an imaging procedure used for the
visualization of tissue elasticity during usual EUS examinations. EUS elastography can be …

Elastography is a new ultrasound modality that provides images and measurements related
to tissue stiffness. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has played an important role in the …

Results: The sonoelastography images of pancreatic masses were interpreted as benign in
four cases and malignant in 20. The sensitivity and specificity of sonoelastography in the …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Qualitative endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography is an
accurate but subjective tool for the differential diagnosis of solid pancreatic masses. Second …

Background The prevalence of malignancy in patients with small solid pancreatic lesions is
low; however, early diagnosis is crucial for successful treatment of these cases. Therefore, a …

Background Recently, the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography has
been reported for the diagnosis of pancreatic lesions. In the present study, we …

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

Background/Aims EUS elastography is a novel technique that can be used for distinguishing
benign from malignant lymph nodes and focal pancreatic masses. However, the studies …

BACKGROUND: Differential diagnosis of solid pancreatic masses remains a challenge. EUS
elastography, by analyzing tissue stiffness of the mass, may be of help in this setting …
