摘 要：Elastography is a non-invasive method widely used to measure the stiffness of the tissues,and it is available in most endoscopic ultrasound machines,using either qualitative or quantitative *** ultrasound elastography is a tool that should be applied to obtain a complementary evaluation of pancreatic diseases,together with other imaging tests and clinical *** can be informative,especially when studying pancreatic masses and help the clinician in the differential diagnosis between benign or malignant ***,further studies are necessary to standardize the method,increase the reproducibility and establish definitive cut-offs to distinguish between benign and malignant pancreatic ***,even if promising,elastography still provides little information in the evaluation of benign conditions.
