[Early diagnosis and staging of acute pancreatitis using computed tomography]. 1988

W Maier
Radiologische Klinik der Universität Ulm.

In 108 patients with acute pancreatitis, the CT findings were correlated with pathological staging; in 63 the diagnosis had been confirmed at operation and in 45 it was made on clinical grounds. CT differentiation between interstitial and necrotizing pancreatitis had a sensitivity of 0.87 and specificity of 1.0. In addition, exact estimation of the extent of intrapancreatic necrosis was possible. This high accuracy makes CT the method of choice for the early diagnosis and staging of acute pancreatitis.

D010195 Pancreatitis INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.
