Figures & Tables

Fig. 1.

A. A seven year-old boy suffering from H. pylori infection underwent strain elastography examination. The strain values obtained from the thickened gastric wall were compared with the stomach surface of the neighboring muscle tissue which was accepted normal. B. Strain value measurement in a healthy 5-year-old volunteer boy. After clinical examination, the patient’s gastric wall was scanned using B-mode sonography and after no thickening has been shown, the color map was obtained and the region of interest was measured. The value was 0.24, which corresponded to normal limits in the healthy volunteer group

Comparison of the strain index by transabdominal ultrasound elastography in the groups. The strain index values in H. pylori gastritis, non H. pylori gastritis and control groups were 2.7 (1.8–4.1), 2.2 (1.3–3.2) and 1.4 (0.4–2.4), respectively
