[Abstract] Purpose To study the imaging findings of pancreatic adenocarcinoma and evaluate the diagnostic value of each imaging technique. Methods 46 cases of pancreatic adenocarcinoma,which were confirmed by operation and pathology, were analyzed retrospectively.Comparative study was made between imaging findings and pathological findings.At the same time,it was performed to evaluate the role of each imaging technique. Results The main imaging manifestations of pancreatic adenocarcinoma include:①variation of the pancreas outline;②existence of a pancreatic mass,which is usually ill-defined borders;③with the dilatation of pancreatic and bile duct;④existence of vascular involvement;⑤existence of adjacent organs involvement;⑥liver metastasis;⑦lymph nodes involvement. Conclusion The combined use of selected diagnostic techniques proved more effective than any single diagnostic technique for accurately detecting and staging for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
