Color ultrasound has some limitations in terms of accuracy in looking at the pancreas, and it is generally not recommended that the pancreas be examined solely by color ultrasound.
Color ultrasound to see the pancreas accuracy is low, there are certain limitations, easy to miss the tail of the pancreas lesions. The pancreas is located in the posterior peritoneum, close to the back, will be covered by the stomach, transverse colon, if the stomach, transverse colon, the presence of more gas, color ultrasound examination of the pancreas can form interference. And the pancreas is located deeper, therefore, color ultrasound examination of the pancreas is not particularly accurate.
The examination of the pancreas generally relies on CT examination of the upper abdomen. Enhanced CT, in particular, is more sensitive to the examination of pancreatic space-occupying lesions. In addition, pancreatic nuclear magnetic examination is also helpful in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant diseases.
When patients suspect the existence of pancreatic lesions, they should follow the doctor’s instructions in time to carry out abdominal enhanced CT and pancreatic nuclear magnetic examination if necessary, which can help to detect pancreatic lesions at an early stage and facilitate the treatment.
