Main Results:

  • Contrast-enhanced ultrasound shows potential in assessing acute pancreatitis severity, staging pancreatic cancer, and predicting malignancy in cystic neoplasms.
  • Optical coherence tomography and spectroscopy may differentiate malignant from normal pancreatic ducts and focal chronic pancreatitis from malignancy, respectively.
  • Multidetector-row computed tomography offers improved accuracy in evaluating cancer resectability and classifying intraductal papillary mucinous tumors.

Conclusions:

  • Novel imaging technologies and refined applications of existing techniques are significantly improving the diagnosis and staging of pancreatic diseases.
  • These advancements are expected to enhance the clinical management of patients with various pancreatic conditions.
