CHAPTER 8 Pancreas Scanning Protocol 159
5. To evaluate the head and uncinate process of the pancreas, relocate the long axis of the neck and very slightly move the transducer inferior and right lateral. Look for the head and uncinate process to appear directly anterior to the round or oval anechoic, axial section of the inferior vena cava (IVC). The uncinate process will be just posterior to the anechoic, axial superior mesenteric vein section. Very slightly twisting/rotating the transducer can help resolve the longitudinal margins of the head and uncinate. To evaluate the rest of the pancreas head and uncinate begin by moving the transducer very slowly superiorly, scanning through and beyond the pancreas margin. Now very slowly slide the transducer inferiorly until you scan through and beyond the level of the head and uncinate. In the head, look for the small, round, anechoic, axial sections of the common bile duct at the posterolateral edge and the gastroduode­nal artery at the anterolateral edge. In the central portion of the head, try to identify the pancreatic duct.

NOTE: If gas is obscuring the view of the pancreas head and uncinate process and the fluid technique cannot be utilized because the patient is restricted from fluids, then you may have to evaluate the head and uncinate from an angle. The angled view is obtained by relocating the pancreas body, moving to a level just inferior to the body, then angling the transducer toward the patient’s right at varying degrees until the pancreas head and uncinate are identified. Once located, finish evaluating the head and uncinate from that angle. (If any images are taken from an angle it must be noted as part of the image labeling.)

6. To find the long axis of the pancreas you must visibly connect the head, neck, body and tail. Begin by relocating the long axis of the pancreas body. Next, very slowly twist the transducer—first one way then the other—to oblique the scanning plane according to the exact lie of the pancreas. At the same time, it may be neces­sary to barely slide the transducer a little superior or inferior to resolve the long axis.

Sagittal Plane • Transabdominal Anterior Approach
1. Start the axial survey with the pancreas head. Begin scanning with the transducer perpendicular, at the midline of the body, just infe­rior to the xiphoid process of the sternum. Locate the anechoic, distal, long portion of the IVC. Slowly slide the transducer inferiorly along the IVC. Look for a long section of the anechoic portal vein anteriorly. You should be able to identify the head of the pancreas at the inferior margin of the portal vein section.

2. When the head of the pancreas is identified, slowly move the trans­ducer toward the patient’s right, scanning through the head until you are beyond it. Now slowly move the transducer toward the patient’s left, until the head portion reappears. As you evaluate the head, an anechoic, long section of the common bile duct should appear anterior to the portal vein, running inferiorly toward the posterior margin of the head. In some cases, the anechoic long sec­tion of the gastroduodenal artery can be identified anterior to the common bile duct, running inferiorly toward the anterior margin of the pancreas head.

3. Continue by slowly moving the transducer slightly left lateral to evaluate the uncinate process and neck of the pancreas. Look for the anechoic, long section of the superior mesenteric vein that runs between the pancreas neck (anteriorly) and the uncinate process (posteriorly). Generally the uncinate lies directly anterior to the IVC, but it can extend as far left to lie anterior to the aorta.
RT
LT
4. Scan left lateral through and beyond the neck and uncinate process and onto the pancreas body. It can be helpful to resolve the long axis of the aorta and superior mesenteric artery and look for the pancreas body anterior to them. Other vascular landmarks helpful when identifying the pancreas body include anechoic, axial sec­tions of the splenic artery seen at its superior margin and anechoic, axial sections of the splenic vein seen along its posterior edge.
RT
LT
5. Continue to slowly scan left lateral, through and beyond the pan­creas body onto the tail of the pancreas. In most cases this will be the area left lateral to the aorta. Like the pancreas body, the tail is bordered superiorly by the splenic artery and posteriorly by the splenic vein. Look for the tail between the stomach (anteriorly) and longitudinal sections of the left kidney (posteriorly). Scan left lateral through and beyond the tail of the pancreas.

NOTE: If gas from the stomach is obscuring the view of the pancreas tail and the fluid technique cannot be utilized because the patient is restricted from fluids, then you may have to evaluate the tail from a pos­terior approach. When using a posterior approach, the patient may sit erect or lie prone. It is usually helpful to begin by locating the superior pole of the left kidney (just lateral to the spine) then look for the tail in the area directly anterior to the superior pole.

Pancreas Required Images

NOTE: The required images are a small representation of what a sonog-
rapher visualizes during a study. Therefore, the images should provide the interpreting physician with the most telling and technically accurate information available.
NOTE: Measurements of the normal pancreas are not required. NOTE: If the pancreas cannot be visualized because of overlying stom-
ach or bowel gas, and the patient is restricted from fluids, and every effort has been made to image the pancreas, take the required images in the designated areas to demonstrate nonvisualization and add “area” to the image label.
