“…Ultrasonography is routinely used to diagnose acute pancreatitis in h u m a n~.~-~J~J~-~~ Pancreatic localization depends primarily on recognition of vascular structures adjacent to the pancreas. 18,19 Normally, the pancreas is slightly more echodense than the liver. Any inflammatory disease, e.g., pancreatitis, tends to result in pancreatic enlargement and makes it more sonolucent, presumably due to edema.…”

Acute, necrotizing pancreatitis was experimentally produced in three dogs by injection of oleic acid into the accessory pancreatic duct. The ultrasonic features of acute pancreatitis were compared with the radiographic and gross pathologic findings. It was concluded that ultrasonography was very useful for the detection and characterization of experimental pancreatitis. The results must be carefully compared with the ultrasonic abnormalities found in naturally occurring, acute canine pancreatitis before the usefulness of pancreatic sonography can be determined for this disease in the dog

“…The technique for scanning the liver in both longitudinal and transverse sections has been described in detail (2,8,9). It is important that the scan be performed during maximum suspended inspiration, preferably with Valsalva effort to distend the portal venous structures ( I , 2).…”

Anatomic variation of portal venous anatomy in the porta hepatis: Ultrasonographic evaluation

The appearance of the portal vein as it crosses anterior to the inferior vena cava and enters the liver at the porta hepatis was evaluated on 100 longitudinal and 100 transverse ultrasonograms. Three major variations were noted on the parasagittal scans, while four major variations were evident on the transverse images. These variations were primarily related to the size of the left portal vein and the angle at which the left portal vein coursed away from the main portal vein. The appearance and course of the proximal right portal vein was extremely constant and may therefore be used as a landmark to detect pathologic processes in the porta hepatis. Detection of altered anatomy in this region may be especially helpful in correctly differentiating dilated intrahepatic bile ducts from normal portal veins.

“…Ultrasound T HE introduction of gray-scale B-scan ultrasound has led to improved resolution, particularly of normal intra-abdominal vascular anatomy, andhas allowed precise localization of the pancreas in most patients (2,4). While gray scale echo patterns in various pancreatic diseases have not yet been well established, the morphological changes produced by these processes are now more easily detected (7), frequently as displacement and/or distortion of normal vascular structures around the pancreas.…”

The Ultrasonic Demonstration of Inferior Vena Caval Compression: Guide to Pancreatic Head Enlargement with Emphasis on Neoplasm

The ultrasonic demonstration of compression of the anterior (ventral) wall of the inferior vena cava by the pancreatic head was proved to be a reliable sign of neoplasm enlarging the pancreatic head in 10 patients. It would appear that this sign is less reliable and probably not as important diagnostically in patients with pancreatic head enlargement secondary to pancreatitis or pseudocyst. This sign must be constant and reproducible on longitudinal scans done with a single transducer pass in suspended inspiration. This sign was not seen in 50 patients who had no evidence of pancreatic disease.

Newer ultrasonographic anatomy in the upper abdomen: II. The major systemic veins and arteries with a special note on localization of the pancreas

Abstract: Gray scale ultrasonography has made it possible to identify the major systemic arteries and veins in the upper abdomen. Identification of these vascular structures is discussed as well as their value as anatomic landmarks.
