Study Notes

Pancreas Part 2 Summary

Imaging Techniques

Compression Scanning: involves pushing to displace gas
Use shallow breathing and big breaths to get better imaging
Use liver as a window by taking small breaths and holding
Push stomach out to get better imaging
Patient can be seated or standing during imaging
Drink water to fill the stomach, acting as a window (specific tail)
Try different windows, such as using the spleen as a window (coronal approach)

Laboratory Values

Serum Tests

Amylase: 60-80 units
Lipase: 1.5 U/mL
Glucose (fasting): 65-110 mg/dL
All sugars: 80-120 mg/dL

Urine Tests

Amylase (2 hr): 35-260 U/hr
Alkaline phosphatase: no normal value provided
