Overview

Description

Acute pancreatitis imaging is considered in terms of timing, technique, severity assessment, and the management implications of pancreatic fluid collections. Chronic pancreatitis and the imaging features used to differentiate solid and cystic pancreatic neoplasms are then examined.

Learning Objectives

Select appropriate imaging protocols and timing for suspected pancreatitis.
Classify acute pancreatitis severity and associated fluid collections.
Differentiate chronic inflammatory change from solid and cystic pancreatic tumours.
