Abstract
Elastography has been proven to increase accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic masses. Recent data have questioned its validity when applied in a routine clinical setting outside controlled studies. Further improvements of the technique are warranted to increase the reproducibility of the results and make it a useful clinical tool.File in questo prodotto:
