title: [CT and ERCP as a combination research method in pancreatic diseases].
abstract: The value of combined CT and ERCP for studying the pancreas has been assessed in a retrospective study. CT and ERCP used singly provided a correct diagnosis in 74 and 63% respectively; the combination of these methods increased diagnostic accuracy to 86%. ERCP is employed after CT and is indicated if the pancreas appears normal, if there is suspicion of chronic pancreatitis or neoplasia, for elucidating focal masses or if there is obstructive jaundice, without its cause being visible on CT.
