Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) Elastography
نویسنده
چکیده
2007〉 Recent developments in ultrasound (US) data processing have made it possible to develop new software. The latest generation of US workstations incorporate a central computer allowing very precise processing of the US image. This has made possible the reconstruction of images like three-dimensional US, second harmonic imaging for detecting contrast agents following intravenous injection, and even more recently, Elastography imaging.

Endoscopic ultrasound elastography
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography is an imaging procedure used for the visualization of tissue elasticity during usual EUS examinations. EUS elastography can be accomplished real-time with state-of-the-art ultrasound systems, with the images being represented in transparent color superimposed on the conventional gray-scale B-mode scans. The aim of this review was to introduce the potenti...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound elastography for evaluation of lymph nodes and pancreatic masses: a multicenter study.
AIM To evaluate the ability of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography to distinguish benign from malignant pancreatic masses and lymph nodes. METHODS A multicenter study was conducted and included 222 patients who underwent EUS examination with assessment of a pancreatic mass (n = 121) or lymph node (n = 101). The classification as benign or malignant, based on the real time elastography pa...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound in the diagnosis of acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas: contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound elastography, and pathological correlation
We report a case series of five patients with pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma who received surgical treatment and compared the preoperative contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and EUS elastography patterns with the surgical specimens. The contrast-enhanced EUS indicated vascular tumors with gradual enhancement in four patients and a hypovascular tumor in one patient. The elastography...
متن کاملClinical Abstracts using Hitachi Real-time Tissue Elastography
Purpose: Ultrasound elastography is a new imaging procedure which allows the reconstruction of elasticity distribution by characterising the difference of hardness between pathological and normaltissue.Materials and Methods: The aim of our study was to apply real-time elastography during endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) examinations and to consequently characterise benign versus malignan...
متن کاملPrimary Fallopian Tube Carcinoma Diagnosed with Endoscopic Ultrasound Elastography with Fine Needle Biopsy
Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a rare gynecological cancer that is very difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Here, we report the case of a 66-year-old female patient with PFTC that was diagnosed preoperatively on the basis of the characteristic features on endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography and fine needle biopsy (FNB). EUS showed a sausage-shaped hypoechoic mass, 8 cm in siz...
