Based on the facts specified in the preliminary study, we routinely made use of combined selective anteriography and hypotonic duodenography for the examination of patients suspected of harboring a pancreatic lesion.
This diagnostic procedure is more advantageous than the summation of the findings noted on 2 roentgenograms taken separately: precise location of the vessels supplying the pancreas can be identified; the extent of the pancreatic lesion can be visualized; minimal changes in the finer vessels can be confirmed; and an appropriate therapeutic plan can be established. These facts were documented in a group of patients.
The further addition of cholangiography to the combined selective arteriography and hypotonic duodenography is suggested.
