Ultrasonography of the pancreas. 1. Conventional imaging
Abdom Imaging.
2007 Mar-Apr.
Abstract
Ultrasound imaging has made significant advances in recent years and plays an important role in the detection, characterization and staging of pancreatic diseases. Conventional ultrasonography (US) is a noninvasive imaging modality, which continues to be the first diagnostic step in the evaluation of the pancreas. Over its various decades of application, US have detected pancreatic pathology of great diversity. This article reviews the wide utility of US and the many examinations techniques, such as filling the stomach with water, changing the patient's position or suspending inspiration or expiration, allowing us to visualize all portions of the pancreas in a high percentage of patients.
