Clinical Trial Summary

The maximal diameter of the pancreatic duct will be measured by endoscopic ultrasound at four different parts:

• Pancreatic head

• Pancreatic neck

• Pancreatic body

• Pancreatic tail

Description:

All patients without pancreatic or biliary disorders undergoing upper-GI endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) are eligible for the study.

The maximal diameter of the pancreatic duct will be measured by endoscopic ultrasound in millimeters at four different parts:

• Pancreatic head

• Pancreatic neck

• Pancreatic body

• Pancreatic tail
