Improving arteriography of the pancreas.

Simple celiac and mesenteric arteriography in the prone position with the injection of a large bolus of contrast medium, as fast as possible, is evaluated on the available data against the more complex usual procedure for diagnosing diseases of the pancreas. The new procedure, based upon a better distribution of the contrast medium because of its density, can well simplify angiography of the pancreas without a loss of information.
