title: [Computed tomography of pancreatic carcinoma].
abstract: The ductal adenocarcinoma is the most frequent tumour of the pancreas. So far, imaging methods did not enable early diagnosis of the tumour, since in most cases it cannot be detected before it has grown to a size of 2-3 cm diameter. CT findings of the carcinoma of the pancreas as well as problems connected with the diagnosis and with staging of the tumour are presented in a concise review.
