Abstract
During the past 10 years new diagnostic techniques for pancreatic disease have been developed, such as angiography, endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERCP), ultrasonography (US), and computed tomography (CT). By means of these diagnostic tests there have been major developments in pancreatic imaging and a big improvement in diagnostic strategy for pancreatic disease.
