Unlabelled: The conventional ultrasound examination of the pancreas from ventral is - especially concerning the leftsided parts of the organ - limited by interposition of stomach, flexura duodenojejunalis or colon. The transsplenic view to the cauda pancreatis is less known, but allows quite often a good possibility to examine this part of the retroperitoneal organ, even when examination from ventral is impossible.
Aim: Comparison of ventral and transsplenic ultrasound examination - with and without tissue harmonic imaging (THI) - in regard to the diagnostic accessability to the cauda pancreatis.
