Abstract
Introduction

Transabdominal ultrasound (TU) pancreatic 2D-SWE elastography is a developing technique that needs to be protocolized.

Objectives

Establish a protocol for image acquisition and measurement of TU pancreatic — 2D-SWE elastography and estimate the minimum number of measurements to be performed.

Materials and methods

Ten measurements of pancreatic elasticity were taken in healthy volunteers using TU-2D-SWE, following a strict protocol for image acquisition and measurement.

Results

The 70% of the participants were women, with an average age, weight, and BMI of 49.5±15.7 years, 65.9±11.9kg, and 24.5±4.2kg/m2, respectively. Measurements were taken from the body (70%), tail (16.7%), and pancreatic head (13.3%). The median mean velocity and elasticity were 1.46±0.25cm/s and 6.46±2.87kPa, respectively. The ROI depth was 4.12±1cm and the SP-ROI distance was 5.2mm on average. There were no statistically significant differences between the 10 measurements. The reliability analysis of the measurements showed high internal consistency and repeatability. Taking 5–6 measurements ensured high concordance with the ten reference measurements. The measurements were significantly lower when the SP-ROI values were intermediate (0.3–0.6cm). The measurement accuracy was higher when performed at a depth less than 4.8cm.

Conclusion

To measure pancreatic elasticity using TU-2D-SWE, we propose a strict protocol for image acquisition and measurement, taking a minimum of 5 measurements in the best visualized and accessible pancreatic portion, and preferably at a depth of less than 4.8cm.

Resumen
Introducción

La elastografía pancreática transabdominal (TA) usando 2D-SWE es una técnica en desarrollo que requiere ser protocolizada.

Objetivos

Establecer un protocolo de adquisición de imágenes y medición de la elasticidad pancreática usando 2D-SWE-TA y estimar el número mínimo de medidas a realizar.

Material y métodos

Se tomaron 10 medidas de la elasticidad pancreática en voluntarios sanos usando 2D-SWE-TA, siguiendo un protocolo estricto de adquisición de imágenes y medición.

Resultados

El 70% eran mujeres, con una edad, peso e IMC de 49,5±15,7años, 65,9±11,9kg y 24,5±4,2kg/m2, de media, respectivamente. Las mediciones se realizaron en cuerpo (70%), cola (16,7%) y cabeza (13,3%/30) pancreática. La media de la mediana de la velocidad y elasticidad fue de 1,46±0.25cm/s y 6,46±2,87KPa, respectivamente. La profundidad del ROI fue 4,12±1cm y la distancia SP-ROI fue 5,2mm, de media. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre las 10 medidas. El análisis de fiabilidad de las medidas mostró una elevada consistencia interna y repetibilidad. La toma de 5–6 medidas aseguraba una alta concordancia con las 10 medidas de referencia. Las medidas eran significativamente inferiores cuando los valores de SP-ROI eran intermedios (0,3–0,6cm). La precisión en la medida era mayor si se realizaba a una profundidad inferior a 4,8cm.

Conclusión

Para medir la elasticidad pancreática mediante 2D-SWE-TA proponemos un protocolo estricto de adquisición de imágenes y medición, la toma de un mínimo de 5 medidas en la porción pancreática mejor visualizada y accesible, y a ser posible a una profundidad menor de 4,8cm.
