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
