Özet

Purpose The use of ultrasound (US) elastography to assess the pancreas is subject to serious limitations, and it is not easy to perform US elastography for the pancreas with satisfactory and reproducible accuracy. The aim of our study was to show the normal pancreatic stiffness values with shear wave elastography (SWE) and to evaluate the pancreatic tissue stiffness at two different respiratory phases.
