Description

Imaging indications, staging, and early and late complications define the assessment of acute pancreatitis, alongside findings of chronic disease. Pancreatic adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumours, cystic neoplasms, and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms are then examined with common diagnostic challenges.

Learning Objectives

Select and time imaging appropriately in acute pancreatitis and assess its complications.
Recognise imaging indicators of chronic pancreatitis.
Differentiate pancreatic adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumours, and major cystic neoplasms.
