The gray-scale ultrasound features of the normal and pathological pancreas are presented in 37 patients, 25 of whom presented with jaundice, and 12 of whom had abdominal pain suspected to be of pancreatic origin. The ultrasound criteria for the diagnosis of pancreatic carcinomata, acute pancreatitis and pancreatic pseudocysts are illustrated. The correlation with findings at laparotomy and post-mortem are shown, suggesting that ultrasound is the best method of pancreatic imaging available in New Zealand at this time.
本文展示了37例患者正常及病理状态下胰腺的灰阶超声特征，其中25例伴有黄疸，12例有疑似胰腺源性腹痛。文中说明了胰腺癌、急性胰腺炎及胰腺假性囊肿的超声诊断标准，并展示了其与剖腹探查及尸检结果的相关性，表明超声是目前新西兰可用的最佳胰腺成像方法。
