      Engjom, Trond; Erchinger, Friedemann Georg; Lærum, Birger Norderud; Tjora, Erling; Aksnes, Lage; Gilja, Odd Helge; Dimcevski, Georg Gjorgji (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-02-16)
      Objective: Short endoscopic secretin tests for exocrine pancreatic function are not properly evaluated in cystic fibrosis (CF). Methods: Patients with CF and healthy controls (HCs) underwent endoscopic collection of duodenal ...
    • Secretin-stimulated ultrasound estimation of pancreatic secretion in cystic fibrosis validated by magnetic resonance imaging 

      Engjom, Trond; Tjora, Erling; Wathle, Gaute Kjellevold; Erchinger, Friedemann Georg; Lærum, Birger Norderud; Gilja, Odd Helge; Haldorsen, Ingfrid S.; Dimcevski, Georg Gjorgji (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-04)
      Objectives: Secretin-stimulated magnetic resonance imaging (s-MRI) is the best validated radiological modality assessing pancreatic secretion. The purpose of this study was to compare volume output measures from ...
    • Ultrasound echo-intensity predicts severe Pancreatic affection in cystic fibrosis patients 

      Engjom, Trond; Erchinger, Friedemann Georg; Lærum, Birger Norderud; Tjora, Erling; Gilja, Odd Helge; Dimcevski, Georg Gjorgji (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-03-24)
      Background: Pancreatic destruction affects the majority of patients with cystic fibrosis. We aimed to relate ultrasound findings to exocrine pancreatic function and cystic fibrosis genotype. Methods: Patients with cystic ...
