Abdominal Imaging for the Diagnosis of Chronic Pancreatitis

Atsushi Irisawa, Akira Yamamiya

Abstract

Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis. Typical diagnostic imaging includes transabdominal ultrasonography (US), endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging/cholangiopancreatography (MRI/MRCP), and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), each of which can represent the characteristic pathophysiology of chronic pancreatitis. This chapter describes the various diagnostic imaging methods mentioned above.
