The aim of this work was to perform ultrasonographic measurements of normal pancreas in the Chilean population. Among 5000 subjects referred for an ultrasound abdominal examination, those without history of alcoholism, pancreatitis or liver disease were selected for the study. 261 individuals (157 female) aged 20 to 79 years were studied. The size of the head of the pancreas ranged from 6 to 28 mm (17.7 +/- 4.2 mm), the body size ranged from 4 to 23 mm (10.1 +/- 3.8 mm) and the tail size from 5 to 28 mm (16.4 +/- 4.2 mm). These figures are lower than those reported in Europe and North America. No size differences were observed according to sex or body frame. Progressive declines in size with age, were observed in all pancreatic segments. No hypoecogenic pancreas were observed. A new technique to improve pancreatic ultrasonographic vision is proposed.
这项工作的目的是对智利人群的正常胰腺进行超声测量。在5000名接受腹部超声检查的受试者中，选择那些没有酗酒、胰腺炎或肝病病史的人进行研究。对261名年龄在20至79岁之间的个体（157名女性）进行了研究。胰腺头部大小在6至28毫米之间（17.7±4.2毫米），体部大小在4至23毫米之间（10.1±3.8毫米），尾部大小在5至28毫米之间（16.4±4.2毫米）。这些数值低于欧洲和北美的报道。未观察到根据性别或体型的大小差异。在所有胰腺节段中均观察到随着年龄增长大小逐渐下降。未观察到胰腺低回声情况。提出了一种改善胰腺超声成像的新技术。
