The intrapancreatic anatomy as an index of adequacy of pancreatic arteriography.
Analysis of 100 pancreatic arteriograms in respect of intrapancreatic arteries shown has been performed. The results have been compared with Michels' classic series of 200 cadaveric dissections. Excellent correlation has been found. The degree of demonstration of small intrapancreatic arteries in our view is an index of the adequancy of pancreatic arteriography.
