Abstract:
By using their data on 123 patients with different forms of pancreatitis, the authors describe the ultrasound and computed tomographic semiotics of this condition. The authors consider ultrasonography and computed tomography to be highly informative in diagnosing different forms of the disease and its complications. Both methods not only assess the pancreatic parenchyma, the extent of the process to the adjacent anatomic structures, but permit a follow-up and diagnostic and treatment measures under their visual guidance.

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
