Abstract
Introduction. The incidence of acute pancreatitis increases every year. Early diagnosis of the necrotic type of acute pancreatitis is still relevant.Purpose. To reveal the informativeness of Elasticity Imaging Techniques for differential diagnosis of clinical and morphological types of acute pancreatitis.Material and methods. Shear wave sonoelastometry (ElastPQ-pSWE) was performed for 19 patients with acute edematous pancreatitis, and 13 patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis. The control group consisted of 30 healthy volunteers.Results. In comparison with the control group, the stiffness of the pancreatic parenchyma was 1,3 times higher in the edematous form of AP (p3=0,0013, p6=0,007, p8=0,0024) and 5,3 times in the necrotic form of AP (p3=3,3e-5, p6=8e-07, p8=7,1e-8) and amounted to 5,16±1,34 kPa and 20,55±8,39 kPa, respectively, versus 3,86±1,04 kPa.Conclusions. Elasticity Imaging Techniques with shear wave technology provides an additional criterion for differential diagnosis of clinical and morphological types of acute pancreatitis.
