[Current role of pancreatic scintiscanning in the study of pancreatic symptomatology].

A brief reference is made to the part once assigned to scintiscanning as a method of approach to diseases of the pancreas. It is felt that the lack of confidence now displayed in this technique is based preconceptions. A new diagnostic approach is therefore proposed and briefly described. The advantages and disadvantages of the diagnostic techniques included in the proposed scheme are examined. The view is expressed that a fresh assessment should be made of nuclear pancreatography, since it is still a fundamental diagnostic tool.
