What are the Alternatives to Pancreatic Duct Injections?
Several non-invasive or less invasive alternatives should be considered:
Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP): This imaging technique provides detailed images without the need for contrast injections. Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS): EUS can offer high-resolution images and even allow for fine-needle aspiration if needed. Blood Tests: Certain blood tests, such as serum amylase and lipase, can offer crucial information about pancreatic function.
