Objective To summary the recent progression of imaging methods which mainly applied on the early detection and qualitative diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Method The newest related literatures between home and abroad were collected and reviewed. Results Ultrasonic, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography mostly be used on pancreatic cancer detection and diagnosis. Conclusion Each method gets its own advantage even computed tomography seems like dominated on the detection and diagnosis pancreatic cancer, moreover, magnetic resonance imaging has been improved rapidly in recent years which shows its enormous potential.
