Abstract
MDCT with angiography or MRI/MRCP should constitute the first imaging modality in suspected pancreatic adenocarcinomas. EUS is recommended for assessing lesions not clearly detected, but suspected, on CT/MRI and in tumours considered 'borderline resectable' on MDCT to assess vascular involvement. PET-CT in locally advanced lesions will help rule out distant metastases.
