Pancreatic Imaging
Pancreatic imaging refers to various techniques used to visualize the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach that plays a crucial role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. Common imaging methods include ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI, which help detect conditions such as pancreatitis, tumors, or cysts.
These imaging techniques provide detailed pictures of the pancreas, allowing healthcare providers to assess its size, shape, and any abnormalities. Early detection through pancreatic imaging can lead to timely treatment, improving outcomes for patients with pancreatic diseases.
