[Pancreatoscanography with 75Se-methionine following glucose loading]

Altogether 110 patients with different pancreatic diseases were examined on the Picker magna-scanner 500 I (USA) with 75Se-methionine (9.2 MBq). Glucose load at a dose of 0.33 g/kg is recommended 50 min before examination increasing RP accumulation in the pancreas parenchyma and improving scanographic image. It is pointed out that the coincidence of scanographic and pathohistological diagnoses in pancreas cancer is noted in 62.5%, in cystic formations in 89%, and in chronic pancreatitis in 93% cases.
