Sensitivity of routine abdominal multidetector computed tomography in patients with pancreatic solid tumour proven with endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration – Preli…

Introduction: The diagnosis of pancreatic tumour, especially in early stages is sometimes challenging. Multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) is generally accepted as one of the most accessible and sensitive method to demonstrate pancreatic masses, but there is an increasing number of evidence, that endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is superior to MDCT both in sensitivity and specificity especially when combined with fine-needle aspiration (FNA). The aim of our preliminary retrospective analysis was to determine the value of routine abdominal MDCT in patients with solid pancreatic malignacy proven with EUS-FNA. Pat…
