Brief summary
to assess the diagnostic value of strain elastography EUS and shear wave EUS in solid pancreatic lesions
Detailed description
Three measurements of strain ratio elastography and three measurements of shear wave elastography with VPN\> 20% will be performed in the same solid pancreatic lesions. The results will be compared in the groups of adenocarcinomas, neuroendocrine tumors and benign solid pancreatic lesions.
Interventions
Comparison between the values of strain ratio and shear wave in concordance with the final diagnosis
