An ultrasonic study of 100 normal subjects, associated to the analysis of 17 anatomical preparations, showed that, in 60% of subjects, the left part of the pancreas is located in front of the left renal vessels; this means that the pancreas possesses a much more caudal situation than classically admitted by most of sonologists, and by certain anatomists. An ultrasonic study of the pancreas must therefore begin with transverse scans; the scanning orientation will be modified if the pancreas is oblique; such a modification is immediate if the examination is carried out in real time and in the standing position, a technique which must be routinely employed.
