During the assessment of pancreatitis and its complications, or in efforts to detect a pancreatic tumour dictated by an endocrine assessment or an obstruction of the bile ducts or clinical doubts, a CT scan is the preferred exam, allowing to assess the parenchyma, adjacent vascular structures and adenopathies. MRI/MRCP has proven useful in detecting small lesions (such as a small neuroendocrine lesion) or in characterizing certain tumoral cystic lesions further. Viewing of the pancreatic duct is better than with a CT scan, which is particularly useful in certain cases of cystic neoplasia, namely intraductal mucoid neoplasia.
