[Imaging for hepato-pancreatico-biliary diseases - a short review].

The purpose of this chapter is to give a practical and clinically-orientated overview over the best radiological imaging for the most frequent diseases of the hepato-pancreatico-biliary system. For this purpose the liver parenchyma, the biliary tree, the pancreas and the hepatic vasculature are dealt with separately. According to the presumed pathology, the most cost-saving and time-efficient radiological imaging can then be chosen.
