What is the normal short-axis of the measurement of the pancreas?

The normal short-axis measurement pancreas is less than 2.5 cm at the head and less than 1.5 cm at the tail. However, it is best not to rely on strict measurements. A better approach is to get a sense of the pro-portions of the patient’s pancreas and then to look for a focal mass, enlargement, or atrophy.
