IMPROVEMENT OF COMPLEXULTRATOVUSH EXAMINATION OF MALIGNANT TUMORS OF THE PANCREAS

Abstract
Malignant tumors of the pancreas remain one of the most aggressive and difficult to diagnose oncological diseases. Ultrasound plays a key role in the early detection and monitoring of these tumors. The aim of this study is to increase the effectiveness of comprehensive ultrasound in the diagnosis of pancreatic malignancies by introducing additional methods such as elastography, contrast ultrasound and Dopplerography.
