Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You didn't mentioned your symptoms.
According to scan reports, there is dilatation of main pancreatic duct and it may be due to many reasons like calculus,tumour etc.
Other findings like hyperechoic strands, honey combing etc are suggestive of pancreatitis.
So, at this stage you need contrast CT scan of abdomen along with biochemical parameters.
You should consult gastroenterologist for your problem.
Get well soon.
Take Care
