Abstract This study was undertaken to evaluate the role of color Doppler sonography in the preoperative assessment of vascular involvement in patients with pancreatic carcinoma. Twenty-six pancreatic carcinomas were investigated with color Doppler sonography and angiography, and the results of these examinations were compared with those of surgical findings. Color Doppler sonography was more sensitive than angiography in depicting vascular involvement of carcinoma. Thus, it seems rational to perform a preoperative assessment in suspected pancreatic carcinoma patients initially with color Doppler sonography to improve patient management.
