CURVED REFORMATTED IMAGE THROUGH CURVED REFORMATTED IMAGE THROUGH THE PANCREATIC DUCTTHE PANCREATIC DUCT

•The curvilinear course of the pancreatic duct is traced along its entire length allowing to straighten its curvilinear course

•Caliber changes along the entire course of the duct can thus be assessed nearly-instantaneously
