    • To discuss the comparative role of ultrasound against computed tomography (CT) and interventional procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of ultrasound applications in pancreatic disease.
    • Comparative analysis of ultrasound, CT, and interventional techniques.
    • Synthesis of current evidence on diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility.

    Main Results:

    • Ultrasound offers a noninvasive method for evaluating pancreatic conditions.
    • Its diagnostic performance has improved with technological advancements.
    • Its role is complementary to CT and interventional methods in complex cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Ultrasound is a valuable tool for diagnosing pancreatic diseases noninvasively.
    • Its application extends to both pediatric and adult patients.
    • Understanding its role alongside CT and interventional techniques optimizes patient management.
