    Author: Zhao K, Adam SZ, Keswani RN, Horowitz JM, Miller FH.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 2015 Jul; 205(1):W32-41. PubMed ID: 26102416.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The 2012 revision of the Atlanta Classification emphasizes accurate characterization of collections that complicate acute pancreatitis: acute peripancreatic fluid collections, pseudocysts, acute necrotic collections, and walled-off necroses. As a result, the role of imaging in the management of acute pancreatitis has substantially increased. CONCLUSION: This article reviews the imaging findings associated with acute pancreatitis and its complications on cross-sectional imaging and discusses the role of imaging in light of this revision.
