Pancreas Images Flashcards



Dilated MPD
Typically due to stones within the MPD, from chronic pancreatitis or a stone at the Ampulla of Vater

Dilation of the MPD
Typically due to stones in the MPD, from chronic pancreatitis or a stone at the Ampulla of Vater

Cystic Fibrosis in CHILD
(small pancreas with areas of incread echogenicity)

Cystic Fibrosis in ADULT
Hypoechoic areas (fibrosis), small anechoic areas (small cysts), tiny echogenic foci with acoustic shadowing (calcification)

Acute Pancreatitis
(enlarged hypoechoic gland - may not be the case in milder forms of acute pancreatitis)

Acute Pancreatitis with a pseudocyst

Pseudocyst

Pseudocyst

Pseudocyst
(newer, because it hasn’t started bleeding within itself)

Psuedocyst with enlarged Pancreas

Chronic Pancreatitis
(small, echogenic pancreas, calcifications, PV thrombosis due to poor bloodflow, BD dilation, pseudocyst formation, pancreatic duct dilation)

Chronic Pancreatitis
(small, echogenic pancreas, calcifications, PV thrombosis due to poor bloodflow, BD dilation, pseudocyst formation, pancreatic duct dilation)

Phlegmon Pancreatitis
(non-encapsulated inflammatory process, hypoechoic with good through transmission)
seems to be like a cyst without the “shell”, free-flowing

Adenocarcinoma
(typically arises from pancreas head, obstucts the CBD and MPD, tumor surrounds SMV at the junction with the SV, paraaortic and celiac lymphnodes with small liver metasis)

Adenocarcinoma (pancreatic carcinoma)
hypoechoic, solid mass
