Abstract:Transabdominal ultrasound is a promising imaging modality for pancreatic cystic lesions. This study aims to determine if transabdominal ultrasonography with CT fusion (TAUS-f) using volume navigation can be used to measure pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) compared to CT alone. We evaluated 33 patients prospectively with known PCLs. The readers evaluated each PCL’s size and imaging characteristics on TAUS-f and CT alone. These were compared to endoscopic ultrasonography reports. A total of 43 PCLs from 32 patie… Show more
