Abstract

Pancreatic cancer represents a challenge for the imaging modalities that are most commonly used: ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT). Imaging is used to identify the pancreatic lesion and help in the diagnosis of the different forms of pancreatic cancer in different clinical settings.
