Objective: to evaluate the condition of the pancreas in children with cystic fibrosis using complex ultrasound. We examined 80 children from 3 to 18 years: 50 children with mixed cystic fibrosis and 30 conditionally healthy children. The complex ultrasound consisted of gray scale US, color dopplerography, energy dopplerography and pulse-wave dopplerography. Results. A complex study of such parameters as splenic vein diameter, volume and linear blood flow with postprandial response help to obtain more complete picture of pancreatic damage in children with cystic fibrosis. This highly sensitive and specific method with nutritional load has no contraindications, it is non-invasive, readily available, and it does not require large costs and opens up wide prospects in diagnosing the structural condition of the pancreas in children with cystic fibrosis.
