Pancreatic Ultrasound

Pancreatic ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses sound waves to create pictures of the pancreas, a gland located behind the stomach. This test helps doctors diagnose conditions like pancreatitis, cysts, or tumors. During the procedure, a technician applies a gel on the skin and moves a small device called a transducer over the abdomen. The sound waves bounce off the pancreas and produce images that are viewed on a screen. It's a non-invasive and painless way to assess pancreatic health and guide further treatment if necessary.
