Ultrasound, Computed Tomography and Endoscopic Retrograde Pancreatography in the Diagnosis of Chronic Pancreatitis: A Comparative Evaluation

  • Conference paper

Abstract

The diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis is a continuing problem, but is becoming easier. To diagnose chronic pancreatitis early and to distinguish between chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer are particularly difficult. In this paper I will discuss mainly the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis by imaging techniques and not contrast findings between pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.
