Abstract
The clinical usefulness of pancreatic elastography (PE) in the assessment of the pancreatic texture before pancreatic resection still remains uncertain. The aims are: to evaluate the value of pancreatic stiffness in both healthy volunteers and patients affected by pancreatic tumor; to evaluate the ability of PE in predicting clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF). Pancreatic stiffness of healthy subjects was compared with...
