Imaging for the diagnosis and staging of periampullary carcinomas

Authors: R. M. Walsh, M. Connelly, M. Baker

Published in: Surgical Endoscopy | Issue 10/2003

Abstract

Multiple imaging modalities are available for investigating patients with a suspected periampullary neoplasm. The relative utility of each imaging modality is discussed regarding its role in diagnosis and staging. A general imaging approach to patients with a distal biliary obstruction also is presented.
