Abstract
This continuing medical education article highlights the central role of transcutaneous sonography in diagnosing parenchymal pancreatic diseases. It emphasizes the importance of in-depth knowledge of sonographic imaging of organ anatomy and a structured examination methodology, particularly for identifying acute and chronic pancreatitis and related complications. The article provides detailed guidance for optimized examination techniques and equipment settings, even under challenging conditions, and discusses the application of ultrasound in various scenarios of pancreatic diseases. Moreover, the relevance of advanced sonographic techniques such as high-frequency sonography, elastography, and contrast-enhanced sonography is illuminated in the context of expanded diagnostic workup.
期刊介绍：
Ultraschall in der Medizin / European Journal of Ultrasound publishes scientific papers and contributions from a variety of disciplines on the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of ultrasound with an emphasis on clinical application. Technical papers with a physiological theme as well as the interaction between ultrasound and biological systems might also occasionally be considered for peer review and publication, provided that the translational relevance is high and the link with clinical applications is tight. The editors and the publishers reserve the right to publish selected articles online only. Authors are welcome to submit supplementary video material. Letters and comments are also accepted, promoting a vivid exchange of opinions and scientific discussions.
