Compressive sonoelastography measurements were made according to the esophageal muscle because of lack of fat tissue.Results: The mean elasticity score was 3±1 (range, 1-4), and the mean strain ratio was 1±0.9 (range, 0.3-2.9).Conclusion: Primary esophageal carcinoma is stiff based on the elasticity score, and it demonstrated a mean strain ratio similar to the esophageal muscle.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the compressive sonoelastography findings of primary esophageal carcinoma.Materials and Methods: Esophageal specimens of the patients with a tumor staged earlier than T2, with no lymphadenopathy or distant metastasis, who underwent surgery, were evaluated by compressive sonoelastography under ex vivo conditions immediately following surgical excision.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The compressive sonoelastography findings of primary esophageal carcinoma were recorded.
