Abstract
in English, German

Chronic pancreatitis is characterized by recurrent inflammatory episodes. The diagnosis is based on the detection of pathognomonic morphological alterations by ultrasound-based methods as well as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. In addition, imaging techniques play an important role for the differential diagnostics of potential complications in patients with chronic pancreatitis and for regular monitoring of patients with increased cancer risk. This article summarizes the current guideline recommendations for medical imaging procedures in chronic pancreatitis.

Die chronische Pankreatitis ist durch rezidivierende Entzündungsschübe gekennzeichnet. Die Diagnosestellung basiert auf dem Nachweis pathognomonischer morphologischer Veränderungen durch ultraschallbasierte Methoden sowie durch Computer- und Magnetresonanztomographie. Die Bildgebung spielt zudem eine tragende Rolle für die Differenzialdiagnostik bei Komplikationen der Erkrankung sowie für das Monitoring von Risikopatienten. Dieser Beitrag stellt die leitliniengerechte Anwendung bildgebender Verfahren bei chronischer Pankreatitis vor.

Keywords: Endosonography; Pancreatitis, chronic/classification; Pancreatitis, chronic/complications; Tomography, X‑ray, computed; Ultrasonography, transabdominal.
