The impact of new imaging techniques on diagnostic delay and on survival in carcinoma of the head of the pancreas and the periampullary region was investigated. The study comprised 67 patients treated before (1968-1975) and 82 treated after (1979-1981) the introduction of new imaging techniques at Oulu University Central Hospital. The symptomatology, diagnostic delay and survival rates were identical in both groups, but the number of patients per year increased significantly during the latter period. The study indicated that the new imaging techniques, despite their increased diagnostic yield, did not influence diagnostic delay or survival in pancreatic and periampullary carcinoma.
研究了新的成像技术对胰头和壶腹周围区域癌诊断延迟及生存率的影响。该研究包括在奥卢大学中心医院引入新成像技术之前（1968 - 1975年）接受治疗的67例患者以及之后（1979 - 1981年）接受治疗的82例患者。两组患者的症状、诊断延迟和生存率相同，但后期每年的患者数量显著增加。该研究表明，新的成像技术尽管提高了诊断率，但并未影响胰腺癌和壶腹周围癌的诊断延迟或生存率。
