The pancreas is located in the retro-peritoneum in the anterior Para renal space. For descriptive purposes the anatomic divisions include the head, neck, uncinate process, body and tail.The imaging of the pancreas is challenging as it have various pathologic entities with overlapping imaging characters the most important being the congenital anomalies, inflammatory lesions and pancreatic neoplasm. The aim of different techniques is to allow early detection of lesions allowing proper management.The imaging modalities of the pancreas can include: Plain radiographs which show pancreatic calcification in 25-59% of patients. This feature is pathognomonic for chronic pancreatitis. Gastrointestinal tract barium studies are carried out to investigate changes in the GI tract due to the diseased pancreas.Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the most sensitive and specific technique in the investigation of the disease. However this technique is invasive and may cause an acute episode of pancreatitis and ascending cholangitis.
