Abstract
Acute pancreatitis was modeled in outbred albino rats by contact exposure of the pancreatic lobes to low-frequency ultrasound. This method induces focal destruction of the pancreas not accompanied by damage to the adjacent intact tissues. Morphological study showed microcirculatory disorders, parenchymatous edema, plethoric vessels with diapedetic and focal hemorrhages, and small foci of hemorrhagic impregnation and steatonecrosis in zones locally exposed to low-frequency ultrasound.
