Abstract:
Descriptive study was carried out on 66 patients with pancreas head tumors diagnosed clinically, who underwent CT scanning and were treated surgically at Viet Duc Hospital. Ultrasound values were evaluated through the results of operation and pathological anatomy. CT scanning had achieved sensitivity of 96.8% and an accuracy of 90.9% in the diagnosis of the tumors. These values attained 52.3% and 66.7% in the detection of infiltrative signs in neighbouring organs and 75.0% and 90.9% in vessel infiltration. CT scanning was limited in the diagnosis of glandular metastasis and liver metastasis of tumors at pancreas head
