About

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

Full description

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.

Enrollment: 100 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 85 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• patients with solid pancreatic masses > 2 cm in diameter at CT scan for EUS assessment

Exclusion criteria

• Patients with inconclusive pathology results
• patients with cystic component > 20%
