Quantitative Endoscopic Ultrasound Elastography: An Accurate Method for the Differentiation of Solid Pancreatic Masses  Julio Iglesias–Garcia, Jose Larino–Noia, Ihab Abdulkader, Jeronimo Forteza, J. Enrique Dominguez–Munoz  Gastroenterology  Volume 139, Issue 4, Pages (October 2010) DOI: /j.gastro Copyright © 2010 AGA Institute Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Quantitative EUS elastographic evaluation of (I) healthy pancreas (strain ratio, 1.82; area A, 0.25%), and 3 different pancreatic solid masses including (II) inflammatory mass (strain ratio, 4.08; area A, 0.14%); (III) pancreatic adenocarcinoma (strain ratio, 17.41; area A, 0.01%), and (IV) pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (insulinoma) (strain ratio, 56.73; area A, 0.01%). A, area A, representative of the mass; B, soft reference area; B/A (quotient), strain ratio. Gastroenterology  , DOI: ( /j.gastro ) Copyright © 2010 AGA Institute Terms and Conditions

3 Figure 2 Strain ratio (quotient B/A; mean, quartiles, and 95% CI) of the different groups of solid pancreatic masses included in the study. Inflammatory mass (IM), Pancreatic cancer (PC), Neuroendocrine pancreatic tumor (NEPT), Metastasis (Met), Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN).
