| Core Tip |
This pilot study evaluates endoscopic ultrasound-elastography using strain histogram (SH) analysis to improve the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis (CP), which remains challenging in its early stages. The study compared 95 healthy controls with 48 CP patients to establish reference stiffness values. Results showed that CP patients had significantly higher pancreatic stiffness, indicated by lower SH values compared to healthy subjects (median 72 vs 116, P < 0.01). In conclusion, SH analysis effectively differentiates healthy tissue from CP, providing a safe tool for identifying preclinical pathological changes. |
