ABSTRACT
The new German S3 guidelines on ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma were published for the first time on the homepage of the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF) in December 2021 as a new update and thus the second update (first update 2013) and contain a large number of innovations in terms of diagnostics and treatment. The guidelines were organized and led by the German Society for Digestive and Metabolic Diseases (DGVS). In this article we would like to present the central content and innovations related to the radiological diagnostics of ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The most important innovations are the highest recommendation strength in favor of computed tomography (CT) when assessing tumor spread as well as the adaptation of the European guidelines for cystic tumors by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) as the method of first choice. A further innovation is the implementation of a structured reporting of CT findings for describing the anatomical tumor resectability on the basis of the publication presented by the Abdominal Imaging Working Group and the Oncological Imaging Working Group of the German Radiological Society. There is no evidence for the implementation of radiological imaging in the field of aftercare or in the field of screening.
