Abstract
Examination of the pancreas is one of the essential chapters in this ultrasonographic study of gastrointestinal disease. Before the development of abdominal computed tomography (CT) — and now magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) — ultrasonography was the only examination method that could image the pancreas directly. It remains a relatively simple and painless way to examine this deep organ and delivers no ionizing radiation.
