Learning objectives Our study aimed to define the radiological findings of acute pancreatitis and its complications and review the revised Atlanta classification.
Read more Background Acute pancreatitis is a common inflammatory condition of the pancreas associated with various complications. Among these, pancreatic necrosis is considered one of the most significant and serves as a critical indicator of disease severity.The Revised Atlanta Classification (RAC) standardizes terminology and defines complications of acute pancreatitis to facilitate multidisciplinary communication. Pancreatic necrosis typically develops within 24–48 hours after symptom onset. Therefore, early imaging within the first 72 hours is generally not recommended, as a CT scan performed too early may...
Read more Findings and procedure details Interstitial edematous pancreatitis is characterized by a relatively homogenous enhancement of the pancreatic parenchyma with inflammatory fat stranding. Acute fluid collections occur in the early set of acute pancreatitis without a definitive wall. Pancreatic necrosis is identified when diffuse or focal areas of the pancreas fail to enhance and are subdivided into three categories: pancreatic, peripancreatic, or combined (mostly). A pseudocyst is a peripancreatic fluid collection encapsulated by a wall that persists for more than four weeks in cases of...
Read more Conclusion The role of the radiologist is to diagnose acute pancreatitis and its complications during the course, which will enable good clinical management.
