When patients have signs of jaundice, itchy hands and feet, epigastric pain or are being treated for pancreatic diseases, doctors often prescribe pancreatic ultrasound. This is an effective method to help doctors examine the condition of the pancreas as well as the treatment process of pancreatic diseases.

To examine the condition of the pancreas, pancreatic ultrasound has become an important method in assessing the condition and diseases of the pancreas. However, because the pancreas is located behind the peritoneum and is small in size, some difficulties may be encountered during the ultrasound process.

The pancreas is an organ located deep in the abdomen, in front of the spine and behind the peritoneum. It has the exocrine function of producing and secreting pancreatic juice to support the digestion of food and the endocrine function of regulating sugar metabolism. Therefore, diseases of the pancreas can cause dangerous complications for the body. To detect these diseases early, pancreatic ultrasound is an indispensable tool to help doctors diagnose and provide appropriate treatment.

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors can cause a variety of symptoms, depending on the type of hormone they produce. If the tumor is malignant and spreads to other parts of the body, the cancer can become very serious.
