AB  - Using Se-75-selenomethionine, we obtained pancreatic scans on 20 patients with both a multiplane tomographic scanner and a scintillation camera. Comparison of the two methods revealed equivalent-to-improved resolution with the multiplane device. Other advantages of using the multiplane tomographic scanner—such as patient management, depth perception, superior resolution distal to the geometric focal plane, and visualization of regions obscured by the liver shadow or other structures—suggest that the multiplane tomographic scanner is the better instrument for pancreatic imaging.
