Abstract:

Obstruction of the main pancreatic duct (MPD) by stones can cause debilitating pain in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the gold standard for detecting MPD stones. The performance characteristics of less invasive testing such as endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), and pancreatic protocol CT (PPCT) in diagnosing MPD stones have not been well defined.
