Acute pancreatitis is one of the common causes of acute abdominal pain, necessitating hospital admission due to its high mortality and morbidity risk. CT plays an important role in evaluating the severity of acute pancreatitis including the presence of necrosis and infection, and determine the presence of local complications.
According to the revised Atlanta classification, the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis requires at least two of the following three features:
- Abdominal pain consistent with acute pancreatitis
- Elevated serum lipase or amylase at least 3 times greater than upper limit of normal.
- Characteristics findings of acute pancreatitis on crossectional imaging.
