Intervention type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
Intervention: Pancreas EUS shear wave
Description: EUS Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a form of ultrasound elastography used in transabdominal ultrasonography. It measures tissue elasticity by generating shear waves inside the organ using the acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI). The ultrasound machine monitors shear wave propagation and measures the velocity. The shear wave velocity, displayed in kilopascals \[kPa\] or meters per second. Also, the dispersion slope or ultrasound shear wave dispersion (SWD) will be recorded. It is the measure of viscosity \[(m/sec)/kHz\] using SWE.~A first endoscopist will perform EUS over pancreas tissue. Without any elastography assessment (strain ratio/histogram) , the endoscopist will take ten shear wave measurements of pancreas tissue elasticity by generating shear waves inside the pancreas using the ARFI.

Intervention type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
Intervention: Pancreas EUS-elastography and EUS-guided biopsy
Description: Pancreas EUS-elastography measures the pancreatic tissue stiffness through strain ratio (SR) and strain histogram (SH).~A second endoscopist blind to pancreas tissue shear wave findings will perform EUS-elastography with corresponding SR and SH measurements. The SR/SH will be measured and documented. Finally, a pancreas tissue biopsy will be performed. The impossibility of biopsy is an exclusion criterion (except in control patients). Due to ethical purposes, a biopsy will not be performed on patients from the control group.
