Basing on the anatomotopographic relationship between the head of the pancreas and the duodenum, and on their common blood supply, the authors have developed an original technique for recording the rheogram of the pancreas. Using a tube with two electrodes, introduced similarly as for routine duodenal exploration, rheograms of 31 normal subjects have been recorded. Computer processing of these rheograms has made it possible to derive a polynomial including 9 signs, describing the pancreatic circulation. The method is simple, informative, available for any clinic, brings highly significant results.
