Figure 3 Quantitative and qualitative endoscopic ultrasound elastography assessment.
A: Case No. 84: A 26-year-old women with a pancreatic mass. A plain B-mode image (left) and a color-code strain image (right) are shown, strain ratio (SR) = 2.66, Giovannini elastic score of 2 (green). Biopsy confirmed chronic pancreatitis; B: Case No. 73: A 46-year-old man with a pancreatic mass. A plain B-mode image (left) and a color-coded strain image (right) are shown, SR = 23.8, Giovannini elastic score of 4 (dark blue). Biopsy confirmed pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
