Abstract

Forty‐three ultrasound examinations have been done on 17 segmental pancreatic transplants performed for juvenile onset diabetes mellitus. The pelvic transplant was readily studied by both real‐time and articulated‐arm techniques. Transplants of normal sonographic appearance had normal endocrine function. The most common finding was peripancreatic fluid ranging from a slight halo above the transplant to tense pancreatic ascites—the result of the functional exocrine pancreas' normal function.
