Evaluation of the pancreatic tumors by transabdominal Shear Wave Elastography: preliminary results of a pilot study.

CONCLUSIONS: Transabdominal SWE represents a surrogate but feasible method for differentiation cancer from the normal pancreatic tissue. In a clinical setting, data regarding the stiffness complementary to an ultrasound evaluation could guide high-risk patients for a close-up pancreatic monitoring. PMID: 30167580 [PubMed - in process]
