2021年6月30日 · The differential diagnosis of the focal lesions in the region of the pancreas is difficult due to the similarity of clinical and radiological pictures of neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions. This paper presents the most common causes of errors in ultrasound diagnosis of pancreatic pathologies.

2024年11月1日 · An ultrasound of the pancreas can be a useful diagnostic tool if you’re having signs or symptoms of disease that could be affecting your pancreas or if you have risk factors of pancreatic disease. A pancreatic ultrasound can be performed as a noninvasive procedure, or as an invasive procedure.

2025年1月23日 · acute pancreatitis: On the ultrasound, the affected pancreas usually appears swollen and hypoechoic, with surrounding tissue edema. chronic pancreatitis: In a pancreatic ultrasound, findings may include an irregularly shaped …

We review ultrasonography modalities, focusing on advanced pancreatic imaging and its potential to substantially improve diagnosis of pancreatic diseases at earlier stages. In the first section, we describe scanning techniques and examination protocols.

2002年12月16日 · The location of the pancreas in the abdomen makes it well suited for ultrasound examination. However, the complex anatomy of the organ and surrounding tissues make evaluation a demanding task, and the ultrasound echo of even the normal pancreas varies widely from patient to patient.

As ultrasound (US) is simple and less invasive, it is widely used for mass screening and initial imaging for suspected cases of pancreatobiliary diseases in Japan.

Pancreas ultrasound usually assesses pancreatic malignancy, pancreatitis, and other pancreatic conditions. If your report reveals your “pancreas grossly unremarkable” or “the visualized pancreas is unremarkable,” it means there is no evident abnormality in your pancreas.

Methods, value and limitations of transabdominal ultrasonography in the diagnosis of pancreatic diseases, such as pancreatic tumors, acute and chronic pancreatitis (CP), were outlined in the 1970s [2]. Early works described evidence of pancreatic abnormality in transabdominal ultrasonography in approximately 60% of CP cases.

2017年2月16日 · NORMAL APPEARANCE OF ULTRASOUND. Familiarity with the normal anatomy makes interpretation of the image straightforward. In transabdominal ultrasound the abdominal wall and left lobe of the liver are traversed prior to imaging the pancreas; relevant and consistent sonograghic landmarks are shown in Figure 8-2.

2014年5月1日 · Chronic pancreatitis-like changes detected by endoscopic ultrasound in subjects without signs of pancreatic disease: do these indicate age-related changes, effects of xenobiotics, or early chronic pancreatitis?
