title: [The value of conventional pancreas scintigraphy as a diagnostic method in pancreatic diseases].
abstract: In a retrospective study 170 pancreas scintigrams have been compared with the final clinical diagnosis. In 87% of cases the nuclear medicine and clinical diagnoses were in agreement. Given the 95% accuracy of normal pancreas scans, scintigraphy is a reliable method in ruling out pancreatic disorders. The problems of the pathologic pancreas scan are discussed and an approach is recommended for clinical clarification. Finally, a list of indications for pancreas scintigraphy is given.
