Abstract
The purpose of the thisstudy was to evaluate the value of dual-phase multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) as a useful tool for assessing acute and chronic pancreatitis. Oedematous parenchyma, necrosis,peripancreatic inflammation and acute fluid collections are signs of acute pancreatitis on MDCT. Pancreaticparenchymal calcification, MPD dilatation and calculi, parenchymal atrophy, pseudocysts etc are features ofchronic pancreatitis on MDCT. CTSI was used to classify pancreatitis.According to our study MDCT is the imaging modality of choice in acute pancreatitis and pancreatic parenchymalphase is the optimal phase for assessment for necrosis.The CT accuracy for Acute pancreatitis was 91.9% while as for diagnosing chronic pancreatitis 78% and for diagnosing acute on chronic pancreatitis in this study was 86%. Conclusion of this study was MDCT is the imaging modality of choice in acute pancreatitis. It also allows better detection of calcification, ductal dilatation and gland atrophy in chronic pancreatitis.
