Hello.Hyperechoic strands and hyperechoic foci are nonspecifics signs of abdomen ultrasound.Abdomen ultrasound is not the most sensitive test to diagnosis pancreatic diseases .If your doctor suspects pancreatic disease the best test is computerized axial tomography(CAT)
I suppose your doctor will request that test soon to establish right diagnosis and treatment.I wish you good health.
