Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic ultrasound shear wave elastography (EUS-SWE) is an effective method for evaluating pancreatic stiffness and diagnosing early chronic pancreatitis (ECP), a condition that hasn't been thoroughly researched yet.
- The study involved 657 patients, with 22 selected for each ECP and normal groups, finding that pancreatic stiffness was significantly higher in the ECP group (2.31 m/s) compared to the normal group (1.59 m/s).
- EUS-SWE showed strong diagnostic accuracy for ECP, with a cutoff value of 2.24 m/s linked to various EUS findings, confirming its potential as an objective tool in diagnosing ECP based on the Japanese diagnostic criteria from 2019.

DIS has not yet been implemented in Japan as of 2011. Therefore, even if risk was negligible, medical institutions have to entrust radioactive temporal waste disposal to Japan Radio Isotopes Association (JRIA) in the current situation. To decide whether DIS should be implemented in Japan or not, cost-saving effect of DIS was estimated by comparing the cost that nuclear medical facilities pay.
