BACKGROUND Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration/biopsy(EUS-FNA/B)is the most common modality for tissue acquisition from pancreatic masses.Despite high specificity,sensitivity remains less than 90%.Auxi...
This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Nippon Medical School Hospital(No.B-2022-582).
BACKGROUND Tissue hardness is closely related to disease pathophysiology.Shear-wave ela-stography(SWE)is a simple and noninvasive ultrasound technique that has been used to evaluate the presence of lymph node metastas...

Optical coherence elastography(OCE)can quantitatively obtain the viscoelasticity of tissues using rheological models and is widely applied to the clinical diagnosis of diseases.However,commonly used rheological models...
BACKGROUND The study focuses on the use of multi-parametric ultrasound[gray scale,color Doppler and shear wave elastography(SWE)]to differentiate stable renal allografts from acute graft dysfunction and to assess time...
Magnetic resonance imaging is the gold standard compared other clinical fin-dings.But shear wave elastography technique combined with endoscopic ultra-sound can evaluate the degree of fibrosis of fistula tissue in Cr...
