Abstract

Radiologic imaging has become essential in the diagnosis and evaluation of patients with chronic pancreatitis. The primary techniques include the cross-sectional modalities of ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR), as well as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and angiography.
