Recently, the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography has been reported for the diagnosis of pancreatic lesions. In the present study, we retrospectively assessed EUS elastography as a diagnostic tool by evaluating tissue elasticity distribution and elasticity semiquantification, using the strain ratio (SR) of tissue elasticity, in patients with pancreatic masses.
