Visualization of the pancreas using endoscopy and x-rays after injection of a radiopaque contrast medium into the duct of Wirsung.
Endoscopic and radiological examination of the pancreas after injection of a radiopaque contrast medium through the duct of Wirsung.
Visualization of the pancreas or its ducts can be achieved through various imaging techniques such as CT scanning, MRI, ultrasound scanning, and X-ray. For X-ray imaging, a radiopaque contrast medium is introduced into the ducts during exploratory surgery. Additionally, ERCP, which is an endoscopic X-ray procedure, can also be employed for this purpose.
