Shear Wave Elastography in Diagnosis of Inflammatory and Malignant Pancreatic Diseases

NCT04964648 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2021-07-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Only a few studies that have assessed the normal range value for pancreatic stiffness, inflammatory and malignant pancreatic lesions, shear wave velocities of healthy parenchyma, acute and chronic pancreatitis, malignant lesions of the pancreas will be evaluated and compared with other conventional imaging modalities, and evaluate its role in assessment of severity and prediction of clinical course/ outcome in patients with inflammatory pancreatic diseases.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

shear wave elastography

Shear wave elastography (SW-EG), a form of ultrasound elastography used in transabdominal ultrasonography, can measure tissue elasticity by generating shear waves inside the organ using the acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) The ultrasound machine monitors shear wave propagation and measures the velocity. The shear wave velocity, displayed in kilopascals (kPa) or meters per second
