Hello @rexsan20
That is a good question. I'm not a medical professional, so I can't determine the correct answer to your question as to which is the best test for the pancreas. I did find some information, however, on the National Institute of Health's website, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6284179/
As you read this publication, you will see Table 1. It does comparative values for three different tests, CT, MRI as well as EUS. It appears from the Table that MRI is slightly better than a CT scan and that EUS is better than both. Here is a link from Mayo Clinic's website that describes the EUS, https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/endoscopic-ultrasound/about/pac-20385171
Have you had the EUS?
