[Pancreatic calcinosis as shown on the computer tomogram and its general image]

The abdominal roentgenograms of 20 patients with pancreatic calcifications, demonstrated by CT, were evaluated retrospectively. The calcifications of 15 patients could be seen. In 2 patients with ERCP and in 1 patient with pneumocolon only, the calcifications could not be observed. In the remaining 2 patients with negative abdominal roentgenograms the calcifications were prevertebral and of small size. Possibly they could have been found with special projections.
