[Diurnal sonographic imaging potential of the pancreas].
To examine possible diurnal variations in sonographic imaging of the pancreas, 20 patients were repeatedly examined during the day and also during the night. No variations were seen in the imaging quality of the pancreas. Hence, sonography of the pancreas can be effected at any time without any preparatory work, whenever there is any pain or a significant sign in the upper abdomen.
