Contrast Harmonic Echo-Endoscopic Ultrasound Improves Accuracy in Diagnosis of Solid Pancreatic Masses

Detection of a hypoenhancing and inhomogeneous mass accurately identified patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. CHE-EUS increased the detection of malignant lesions in difficult cases (patients with chronic pancreatitis or biliary stents) and helped guide EUS-FNA. A hyperenhancing pattern could be used to rule out adenocarcinoma.
