Abstract

In two series amounting to 266 cases, the overall success rate of ultrasonic diagnosis, in pancreatic lesions was 94%. Since most of pancreatic lesions, when clinical symptoms are present, are already rather large, imaging improvements did not enhance accurary, except for small lesions. The tenative analysis of small abnormalities can be responsible, with last generation machines, for an increase of false positive diagnoses.
