Abstract Purpose To compare sonographic parameters of the pancreas between healthy children and pediatric cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with pancreatic involvement using shear wave elastography (SWE) and to investigate the efficacy of SWE in the diagnosis of pancreatic involvement in pediatric CF patients. Methods The pancreas was evaluated in 38 patients with CF and 38 healthy children using conventional B-mode ultrasonography (US) and two-dimensional (2D)-SWE. Results The pancreatic 2D-SWE values of the CF group were significantly lower than those of the healthy control group (1.01 ± 0.16 vs. 1.31 ± 0.01 m/s for the head, 1.03 ± 0.05 vs. 1.28 ± 0.08 m/s for the pancreatic body, and 1.02 ± 0.05 vs. 1.30 ± 0.10 m/s for the tail; p
