Overview
Contrast enhanced CT scan may be helpful in ruling out other diseases with similar presentation such as malignancy and pseudocysts. CT scan findings suggestive of chronic pancreatitis may include dilatation of the main pancreatic duct, calcifications, pancreatic gland enlargement, changes in pancreatic size, shape, and contour, and pancreatic pseudocysts. The sensitivity of CT scan is 75 to 90 percent and specificity is 85 percent.
CT
- Contrast enhanced CT scan may be helpful in ruling out other diseases with similar presentation such as malignancy and pseudocysts.
- CT scan findings suggestive of chronic pancreatitis may include:
- Dilatation of the main pancreatic duct
- Calcifications
- Pancreatic gland enlargement
- Changes in pancreatic size, shape, and contour
- Pancreatic pseudocysts
- The sensitivity and specificity of CT scan are as follows:
