- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Descriptions of the contrast-enhanced vascular perfusion patterns of solid<br /><br>pancreatic mass lesions, and the correlations to the histological diagnoses<br /><br>obtained from FNA or subsequent surgery. This will enable derivation of the<br /><br>sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive<br /><br>value of each contrast harmonic EUS image pattern for the different solid<br /><br>lesions in the pancreas.</p><br>
