title: [The echographic characterization of pancreatic pseudocysts].
abstract: The diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocyst is still troublesome. In 95% of cases a correct diagnostic evaluation can be achieved by means of ECT or CT scan, ERCP, NMR, EE etc.. ECT and CT scan in particular are the most specific and accurate techniques. ECT scan is currently the up-to-date method for initial diagnosis and continuous monitoring of the lesion. In fact, very interesting real-time data and exact features of the wall of the cysts may be obtained by ECT scanning also suggesting the best therapeutic choice.
