Pancreatic Mobility: An Important Factor in Pancreatic Computed Tomography
1982
Abstract In a few patients, the pancreas may he difficult to visualize with computed tomography (CT). To explain this, we measured the mobility of the pancreas after clinical endoscopic retrograde pancreatography and found that the normal and even the diseased pancreas is a mobile organ, moving with respiration more than its craniocaudal dimension. Therefore, during CT investigations the patient's breathing must be standardized.
