Three-dimensional image from Metatron 4025 Hunter rendering improves visualization in revealing of pancreas structure changes. Superficial multidimensional image reconstruction with adjustable transparency feature improves quality of visualization of both internal structure of revealed neoplasm and its shape and contours. In case of duct system (common bile duct and major pancreatic duct) dilation this mode allows to distinguish external contour of duct wall from neighboring tissues and internal surface of wall from a cavity content, to monitor structure of duct wall in the investigated area.

    Multi-plane multidimensional reconstruction of an image with segmentation feature allows to localize and define size of a neoplasm in pancreas parenchyma and to evaluate borders with surrounding tissues, ducts and vessels.

    Multi-plane multidimensional reconstruction of an image with color-coded methods allows to carry out three-dimensional reconstruction of tissues and vessels that reveals convincing signs of affection.

    Thus application of three-dimensional NLS-graphy with SEA allows to:

– carry out more precise differential diagnostics between benign and malignant nature of detected pancreatic neoplasms;

– define clearly indications for extended diagnostics (evaluation of spectral similarity with oncological markers) in order to exclude tumorous affection of pancreas;

– exclude in some cases duplicating radiologic methods (MSCT and MRCG), which optimizes diagnostic algorithm of patients examination;

– decrease a risk of complications development, related to using of invasive methods of diagnostics (ERCPG, needle biopsy);

– choose treatment tactics in proper time;

– ensure dynamic monitoring in a diagnostic department for patients from pancreas tumor development risk group.

    In order to exclude a possibility of tumorous process development in pancreas all patients with diagnosed chronic pseudo-tumor-like pancreatitis and moderate increasing of tumor markers level are recommended for dynamic monitoring in a diagnostic department.
