Endoscopic ultrasonography for microvascular imaging without contrast enhancement in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic lesions
DFI-EUS is more sensitive for depicting vasculature than eFLOW-EUS, and has higher diagnostic sensitivity for PC. Evaluation of vascularity on DFI-EUS is useful for the differential diagnosis of pancreatic lesions without the need for intravenous contrast agent.
