title: [The place of isotope scanning in the diagnosis of pancreatic diseases (author's transl)].
abstract: 259 isotope scans of the pancreas, done between 1966 and 1973, were analysed. In 62 cases the results of operation or necropsy findings were also available. In 43 of these 62 patients the scans could be diagnostically evaluated, the others being "negative". Among the 43, agreement with operative or necroptic findings existed in 35. All the malignant pancreatic tumours diagnosed by scanning were no longer operable. The place of isotope scanning is seen in general pancreatic diagnosis, especially on careful combination with clinical, special radiological and biochemical studies.
