  • Title: [Acute pancreatitis].
    Author: Mehdi M, Deutsch JP, Arrivé L, Ayadi K, Ladeb MF, Tubiana JM.
    Journal: Ann Radiol (Paris); 1996; 39(1):37-44. PubMed ID: 8794575.
    Abstract:
    The diagnosis of acute pancreatitis is based on clinical examination and basic laboratory tests. The main role of sonography in acute pancreatitis is to evaluate gallstones and small fluid collections. However, sonography is frequently difficult due to intestinal ileus related to pancreatitis. CT is indicated early in the clinical course of acute severe pancreatitis when the diagnosis is uncertain or when complications such as abscess, hemorrhage, or necrosis, are suspected. In addition, CT may be used to assess the prognosis and follow-up of patients.
