title: [Ultrasound and pancreatic length].
abstract: In 50 patients subjected to ultrasonic examination the length of the visualized pancreas was determined. The mean length was 8 cm. The whole pancreas could not be imaged in any of the patients. Further efforts will be necessary to visualize the pancreas to its full extent.
