2015年5月1日 · Characteristic findings of acute pancreatitis on contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) and less commonly MRI or US. The diagnosis is usually established when there is a combination of abdominal pain and elevated pancreatic enzymes and CECT is not required, unless there is uncertainty about the diagnosis.

MRI, combined with MRCP, is an excellent modality to assess patients with clinically suspected chronic pancreatitis, MRI evaluates ductal alterations and obstructive causes of chronic pancreatitis like ductal calculi. MRI also assesses signal changes of gland, glandular volume depletion or atrophy, and pancreatic perfusion on contrast-enhanced ...

Computed tomography is the most performed imaging test for acute pancreatitis. Nevertheless, MRI is useful in many specific situations, due to its superiority soft tissue contrast resolution and better assessment of biliary and pancreatic duct, for example in the ductal disconnection.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to help evaluate the presence and degree of pancreatic necrosis, and is crucial for identifying complications of acute pancreatitis and predicting prognosis.
