“…Shear waves can be generated by mechanical vibration in one-dimensional or two-dimensional transient elastography or by an ARFI in point- and two-dimensional shear wave elastography (p-SWE and 2D-SWE, respectively). The results of SWE can be displayed as either shear wave speed (m/s) or shear or Young’s modulus (kPa) due to the relation expressed in Equation (2) [ 5 , 7 ], but elasticity scale allows for more discrimination between stiffness values [ 8 ].…”

Ultrasound imaging is the first-line investigation for patients with abdominal symptoms, as it effectively depicts the gastrointestinal tract and enables the diagnosis of multiple pathological conditions. Among different recent ultrasound technological advancements, elastography enables the evaluation of various tissue characteristics, such as neoplastic transformation or fibroinflammatory status. In recent years, ultrasound elastography has been utilized extensively for the study of liver diseases and in numerous other clinical settings, including gastrointestinal diseases. Current guidelines suggest the use of transabdominal ultrasound elastography to characterize bowel wall lesions, to assess gastrointestinal contractility, to diagnose and grade chronic pancreatitis; however, no specific indications are provided. In the present paper, we summarize the evidence concerning the application of different ultrasound elastography modalities in gastrointestinal non-liver diseases.
