THE MODERN POSSIBILITIES OF COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN THE VISUALIZATION OF ACUTE PANCREATITIS

Abstract

Computed tomography (CT) with bolus contrast enhancement is the main method of objectifying pancreatic pathology in pancreatic necrosis. This is due to sufficiently high diagnostic accuracy, good accessibility of the method, fast scanning time, simple interpretation of the resulting images. At the present stage, perfusion CT of the pancreas, threedimensional modeling of digital images, determination of anisotropy of pancreatic tissue allow improving the diagnostic efficiency of CT in patients with acute pancreatitis.
