Résumé |
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a major imaging method in the management of several diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and surrounding structures. Elastography is a novel technique providing additional information to standard B-mode imaging on the tissue stiffness. Elastography can be performed under EUS guidance. This method has proven to be an accurate and additional tool in the evaluation of pancreatic diseases and lymph nodes analysis. Possible uses include the study of liver lesions, subepithelial masses, and many more. This article reviews current knowledge and future perspectives.
