    A 75Se-selenomethionine scan is a reliable indicator of normal pancreatic function but can be falsely abnormal. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP) effectively differentiates pancreatic conditions but may yield false negatives.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Nuclear Medicine

    Background:

    • Pancreatic diseases require accurate diagnostic methods.
    • Radio-isotope scans and endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP) are used for pancreatic assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 75Se-selenomethionine scans and ERP for suspected pancreatic disease.
    • To establish an optimal sequence for diagnostic testing.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 144 patients with suspected pancreatic disease.
    • Comparison of findings from 75Se-selenomethionine scans and ERP with final diagnoses.
    • Inclusion of the Lundh test in the proposed diagnostic algorithm.

    Main Results:

    • 75Se-selenomethionine scans were highly specific for normal pancreas but had a 30% false abnormal rate.
    • ERP correctly diagnosed 84% of carcinoma and chronic pancreatitis cases but had false negatives.
    • Both tests showed a tendency for false abnormalities in extrahepatic biliary disease.

    Conclusions:

    • A sequential diagnostic approach is recommended: radio-isotope scan first, followed by ERP for abnormal scans.
    • The Lundh test should be considered if ERP findings are normal despite an abnormal scan.
    • This strategy aims for rapid and reliable pancreatic function assessment.
