Endoscopic ultrasound in the diagnosis of acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas: contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound elastography, and pathological correlation

open access: yesEndoscopy International Open, 2016
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.

Comparison of ELF, FibroTest and FibroScan for the non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: FibroTest (FT) is the most frequently used serum fibrosis marker and consists of an algorithm of five fibrosis markers (alfa2-macroglobulin, apolipoproteinA1, haptoglobin, GGT, bilirubin). The Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) test consists of an

HIGHER VALUES IN LIVER ELASTOGRAPHY AND MELD SCORE ARE MORTALITY PREDICTORS ON LIVER TRANSPLANT WAITING LIST

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Liver elastography have been reported in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with higher values; however, it is unclear to identify morbimortality risk on liver transplantation waiting list.

Can strain elastography be used in reclassification of indeterminate breast lesions in BIRADS lexicon?: A prospective study

open access: yesIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2020
Purpose: To evaluate the role of strain elastography (SE) in reclassification of indeterminate breast lesions placed under BIRADS 3 and 4 categories by conventional ultrasound (US) parameters so as to recourse biopsy only for suspicious stiffer lesions ...

Sonoelastography Findings in Breast Cancer: Correlation with Molecular Subtypes and Ki-67 Expression

open access: yesIndonesian Journal of Cancer
Background: Strain elastography is increasingly used as a complementary imaging tool to assess suspicious breast lesions by evaluating tissue stiffness using the strain ratio and elastography score. Owing to the intertumor heterogeneity of breast cancer,

The implementation of the elastography score in combination with ultrasound prevents unnecessary biopsy of cardiac lesions

open access: yesBiomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2018
The pathological technique is time consuming, costly, and patients are not preferred routinely. Histopathological findings have very low affectability and greater occurrence of β-errors, specifically in the diagnosis of cardiomyopathies. Angiography provides a two-dimensional view only.

Evaluation of liver stiffness measurement–based scores in liver transplantation recipients

open access: yesLiver Transplantation, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Combining bioclinical parameters with liver stiffness measurement (LSM) has improved the diagnostic performance of vibration‐controlled transient elastography (VCTE) for detection of advanced fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease. However, this approach has not yet been tested in liver transplantation (LT) recipients.

Accuracy of Visual Scoring and Semi-Quantification of Ultrasound Strain Elastography – A Phantom Study

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of strain elastography in an elasticity phantom and to assess which factors influenced visual scoring, strain histograms and strain ratios. Furthermore this study aimed to evaluate the effect of observer experience on visual scorings.Two operators examined 20 targets of various stiffness and size ...

Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Elastography Assessment of Lymphoedema Tissue: An Insight into Tissue Stiffness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Palpation remains essential for evaluating lymphoedema to detect subtle changes that may indicate progression. As palpation sense is not quantifiable, this study investigates the utility of ultrasound elastography to quantify stiffness of lymphoedema ...
