Overview

MRI

  • Ultrasound findings suggestive of chronic pancreatitis may include:
    • Dilatation of the main pancreatic duct
    • Calcifications
    • Pancreatic gland enlargement
    • Changes in pancreatic size, shape, and contour
    • Pancreatic pseudocysts
    • Pancreatic atrophy
  • MRI may help in the diagnosis of a rare form, Groove pancreatitis.[1][2]
