A number of technologies can be used to visualize pancreatic masses, but we would like to emphasize the four most common- computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanning, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imagining (MRI). CT Scan (computerized axial tomography)
History. CT, or CAT scans, are special X-ray tests that produce cross-sectional images of the body using X-rays and a computer. CT scans are also referred to as computerized axial tomography. CT was developed independently by a British engineer named Sir Godfrey Hounsfield and Dr. Alan Cormack. CT of the chest is frequently used to further study an abnormality on a plain chest X-ray. 2  It is also often used to look for enlarged lymph nodes. 3  Abdominal and pelvic CT looks at the abdominal and pelvic organs (such as the liver, spleen, kidneys, pancreas, and adrenal glands) and the gastrointestinal tract.
