Diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic ultrasonographic shear wave elastography for assessing early chronic pancreatitis using the Japanese diagnostic criteria 2019

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Endoscopic ultrasound shear wave elastography (EUS-SWE) can facilitate an objective evaluation of pancreatic fibrosis. Although it is primarily applied in evaluating chronic pancreatitis, its efficacy in assessing early chronic pancreatitis (ECP) remains underinvestigated. This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of EUS-SWE for assessing ECP diagnosed using the Japanese diagnostic criteria 2019.
