Ultrasound Point Shear Wave Elastography in Chronic Pancreatitis Diagnosis. Multiple Factor Analysis

Aim of the study was to investigate by ultrasound point shear wave elastography different parts of pancreas in chronic pancreatitis. Two groups consisted of 19 patients in each of them (32 men and 6 women) aged from 20 up to 57 years old were examined. 28 patients were with chronic pancreatitis and 10 volunteers were healthy. Chronic pancreatitis was verified by contrast enhanced computed tomography and morphological examination of resected pancreatic tissue. Fibrosis, pseudocysts, and calcifications were considered as main signs of chronic pancreatitis for multiple factor analysis. Main characteristics of chronic pancreatitis which affected stiffness of pancreatic tissue were revealed.
