Key Words Gastrointestinal stromal tumor; Ultrasound elastography; Strain elastography; Shear-wave elastography; Differential diagnosis
Core Tip Ultrasound elastography, combining strain elastography and shear wave elastography, provides excellent diagnostic precision in distinguishing between benign and malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). A study involving 103 GISTs revealed that malignant tumors displayed notably elevated strain ratios and average elastic moduli. The optimal thresholds for strain ratio (3.45) and mean elastic modulus (32.5 kPa) exhibited high sensitivity and specificity. This noninvasive imaging approach can facilitate preoperative risk assessment and enhance the diagnostic evaluation of GISTs.
