Abstract:
CT has evolved over 24 years as an effective cross-sectional imaging modality for benign and malignant pancreatic diseases. Multiphase helical scanners with rapid infusion of intravenous contrast medium allow for the delineation of pancreatic parenchymal, arterial, and venous studies with identification of malignant and benign lesions. Therapeutic applications abound, and CT drainage of postoperative fluid collections, pseudocysts, and abscesses will have an increasing role in the new millennium.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
Positron Emission Tomography
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...
