Brief Answer:
MRI and CT scan are very sensitive for pancreas.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to HCM,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern,

Your findings may suggest normal pancreas and gall bladder.
MRI and CT scan are very sensitive for pancreas and it can detect pancreatic pathology very accurately.
Ultrasound is very sensitive for gall bladder pathology.

EUS can detect luminal problem in stomach,duodenum etc.
Biopsy may be done if any ulcer etc detected in upper gastrointestinal tract.

As tumour marker is also negative,it excludes any major problem.

Get well soon.

Hope I have answered your query.
Further queries are most welcome.

Take Care
Dr. Indu XXXXXXX
