Normal Anatomy by CT• Pancreas is located in the
anterior pararenal space• Head adjacent to
duodenum• Tail extending toward
spleen• Splenic vein posterior to
body and tail
![Page 8: Role of CT in acute pancreatitis Consultant radiologist Riyadh Military Hospital Dr. Ahmed Refaey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e595503460f94b53750/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Normal Morphology by CT
• No capsule• AP dimensions
Head 2-2.5 cm Body and tail 1-2 cm
• Pancreatic duct Maximal diameter 3 mm in adults (5 mm in elderly)
![Page 9: Role of CT in acute pancreatitis Consultant radiologist Riyadh Military Hospital Dr. Ahmed Refaey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e595503460f94b53750/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Evaluation of Acute Pancreatitis
• Contrast-enhanced CT is imaging modality of choice
• Oral and IV contrast differentiate pancreatic tissue from adjacent blood vessels and duodenum
![Page 10: Role of CT in acute pancreatitis Consultant radiologist Riyadh Military Hospital Dr. Ahmed Refaey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e595503460f94b53750/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• There is no additional value of an early CT (within 72 hours) in patients with acute pancreatitis.
• The diagnosis is usually made on clinical and laboratory findings.
• An early CT may be misleading concerning the severity of the pancreatitis, since it can underestimate the presence and amount of necrosis.
![Page 11: Role of CT in acute pancreatitis Consultant radiologist Riyadh Military Hospital Dr. Ahmed Refaey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e595503460f94b53750/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Etiology
![Page 12: Role of CT in acute pancreatitis Consultant radiologist Riyadh Military Hospital Dr. Ahmed Refaey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e595503460f94b53750/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Pathophysiology
• Activated pancreatic enzymes escaping the ductal system and auto digesting the pancreas and adjacent structures ( mainly amylase, lipase & trypsin ).
• Lack of capsule facilitates spread
![Page 13: Role of CT in acute pancreatitis Consultant radiologist Riyadh Military Hospital Dr. Ahmed Refaey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e595503460f94b53750/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Acute pancreatitis
• Mild acute pancreatitis ----- 80 % * edematous ( interstitial ) * exudative
• Severe acute pancreatitis ----20 %
![Page 14: Role of CT in acute pancreatitis Consultant radiologist Riyadh Military Hospital Dr. Ahmed Refaey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e595503460f94b53750/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Mild acute pancreatitis
- run a mild course without development of multiple organ failure
- improvement within 3 days following conservative therapy with gradual decrease of elevated enzymes.
- has a mortality rate of < 1%
![Page 15: Role of CT in acute pancreatitis Consultant radiologist Riyadh Military Hospital Dr. Ahmed Refaey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e595503460f94b53750/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Severe acute pancreatitis “ necrotizing “
- run a serious clinical course with pancreatic necrosis and the development of multiple organ failure
- of these, 60% of pancreatic necrosis remain sterile , while 40% becomes infected
- this last category ( infected necrosis ) , has the highest mortality rate ( 25-70%)

Acute exudative pancreatitis
• an intermediate form of pancreatitis without pancreatic necrosis with an intermediate clinical course.
• This is called extrapancreatic necrosis (EXPN)
![Page 26: Role of CT in acute pancreatitis Consultant radiologist Riyadh Military Hospital Dr. Ahmed Refaey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e595503460f94b53750/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

• Avoid early drainage of collections and avoid introducing infection!
• 50% of these collections show spontaneous regression The other 50% either remain stable ( pseudocyt ) or develop infection ( abscess ) .

Central gland necrosis
![Page 41: Role of CT in acute pancreatitis Consultant radiologist Riyadh Military Hospital Dr. Ahmed Refaey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e595503460f94b53750/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Central gland necrosis
• Subtype of necrotizing pancreatitis.• Necrosis between the pancreatic head and tail and is
nearly always associated with disruption of the pancreatic duct.
• This leads to persistent collections as the viable pancreatic tail continues to secrete pancreatic juices.
• These collections react poorly to endoscopic or percutaneous drainage.
• Definitive treatment often requires distal pancreatectomy.
![Page 42: Role of CT in acute pancreatitis Consultant radiologist Riyadh Military Hospital Dr. Ahmed Refaey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e595503460f94b53750/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

• An early CT may be misleading concerning the severity of the pancreatitis, since it can underestimate the presence and amount of necrosis.

Mortality
• Early mortality in acute pancreatitis is the result of the systemic inflammatory response with multiple organ failure.
Late mortality is the result of infection of pancreatic necrosis and peripancreatic fluid collections which results in sepsis and is seen in more than 50% of deaths.
![Page 47: Role of CT in acute pancreatitis Consultant radiologist Riyadh Military Hospital Dr. Ahmed Refaey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e595503460f94b53750/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• CT Severity Index
• It is critical to identify patients who are at high risk for severe disease, since they require close monitoring and possible intervention
![Page 48: Role of CT in acute pancreatitis Consultant radiologist Riyadh Military Hospital Dr. Ahmed Refaey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e595503460f94b53750/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
• Balthazar et al constructed a CT severity index (CTSI) for acute pancreatitis that combines the grade of pancreatitis (A-E) with the extent of pancreatic necrosis.
![Page 49: Role of CT in acute pancreatitis Consultant radiologist Riyadh Military Hospital Dr. Ahmed Refaey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e595503460f94b53750/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

• Severity of acute pancreatitis and pancreatic necrosis can only be reliably assessed by imaging after 72 hours.
• CT can not reliably differentiate between collections that consist of fluid and those that contain solid debris.In these cases MRI can be of additional value.
![Page 71: Role of CT in acute pancreatitis Consultant radiologist Riyadh Military Hospital Dr. Ahmed Refaey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e595503460f94b53750/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
• Central gland necrosis is a subtype of necrotizing pancreatitis with important implications.
• Avoid early drainage of collections and avoid introducing infection!
