Purpose
To develop a new standardized multimodal diagnostic approach to CP considering:
WP 1: Fat in faeces and functional testing; the combination of tests has to be easy to practice, should take as little time as possible and discomfort for the patient has to be minimized WP 2: Advanced ultrasonography and imaging modalities. The focus is on validating standard parenchymal, contrast enhanced and functional ultrasound compared to a modern imaging standard. (CT, EUS, MRI)
To evaluate the reliability and feasibility of these novel methods in healthy volunteers; AND
To compare findings in known severe CP patients and different stages of pancreatic insufficiency in patients with CP.
