Material and method. They were studied retrospectively over a 3 years period, 140 patients with pancreatic cancer. Aim of the study This study aims to determine the effectiveness of CT, MRI and EUS in diagnosis and staging of panceatic cancer. Results. CT showed a diagnostic accuracy of 83.3%, with sensitivity and specificity of 81.4% and 43% respectively. MRI showed superior diagnostic accuracy compared to CT (89,1%). However, EUS demonstrated the best diagnostic value in PC (accuracy of 92,7%). Concerning the locoregional staging, the 3 diagnostic methods showed similar result. There were no significant differences concerning the diagnosis of intra-abdominal metastases. Differences have appeared in the case of extra-abdominal. Thus, there were 4 cases of lung metastases which h.
