Where to make ultrasound of the pancreas, what are the features of the procedure and the rules of preparation, we will consider these questions. Ultrasound examination of the pancreas is included in the diagnostic complex of the abdominal cavity organs. Features of the structure and location of the organ make examination difficult, but ultrasound can visualize the gland in different projections and assess its condition.
Indications for pancreatic ultrasound
- Discomfort and pain in the epigastric region during palpation, the presence of palpable neoplasm.
- Control over the state of the body in acute or chronic pancreatitis, identifying complications of the disease (necrosis, cysts, abscess).
- Deformity of the walls of the stomach detected during gastroscopy.
- Jaundice of mucous membranes or skin.
- Diabetes.
- A sharp decrease in body weight and regular stool disorders.
Pancreas ultrasound is recommended after preliminary training, as this guarantees better and more accurate results. For a couple of days before the procedure, it is necessary to adhere to dietary nutrition, refuse to eat foods that cause excessive gas production, flour products, raw vegetables and fruits.
