Ultrasound shear wave elastography for patients with sialolithiasis undergoing interventional sialendoscopy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Ultrasound shear wave elastography is an objective tool to evaluate the stiffness of human tissues. Patients with sialolithiasis could be treated by interventional sialendoscopy with a high success rate. Sialolithiasis could be extracted, and the diseased gland could be preserved and evaluated after treatment. Whether ultrasound shear wave elastography could be used for objective outcome measurement and short-term follow-up of the parenchyma of gland in patients with sialolithiasis remains unclear.

Methods

This retrospective self-controlled study was conducted. Patients with sialolithiasis treated by interventional sialendoscopy and followed by high-resolution ultrasound shear wave elastography were selected between January and September 2017.
