But if your pancreatic enzymes are elevated it will show in your blood work not a MRI or CT. I've had pancreatitis attacks where my lipase is through the roof and my CT scan appears normal. A MRI or other scan cannot measure your lipase or amylase.

My Lipase x3 was 109, 149 and then 69. My amylase was good. My CT showed acute pancreatitis and MRI showed acute pancreatitis. My EUS showed head of pancreas enlarged. Biopsy taken and came back no cancer, benign background with atypical cells which doc wasn't worried about. They classified me as chronic pancreatitis. I find it hard to believe as I don't have any symptoms of it.
