Recent advances in imaging of the pancreas
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 11
Abstract
Pancreatic diseases benefit from early and appropriate diagnosis and therapeutic intervention. Variety of imaging technologies give clinicians an unparalleled set of tools to help in every day clinical practice and decision-making. The basal techniques include computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), radionuclide imaging, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in selected patients. Аdvances in all these technologies and development of molecular-based imaging could enable clinicians to identify diseases at an earlier stage and, thereby, improve patient outcomes. CT is introduced in late 1970s. Since tnen there has been dramatic improvement in pancreatic imaging.
