    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is crucial for diagnosing pancreatic diseases.
    • Improving spatial resolution in CT enhances diagnostic accuracy for subtle pancreatic abnormalities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the clinical feasibility of a CT geometric magnification technique for pancreatic imaging.
    • To assess the impact of geometric magnification, small focal spot size, and dynamic contrast enhancement on image quality and diagnostic performance.

    Main Methods:

    • A geometric magnification technique was applied to CT scans in 143 patients with suspected pancreatic disease.
    • Phantom studies were conducted to compare spatial resolution with conventional CT geometry.
    • Dynamic contrast enhancement was utilized in conjunction with the magnification technique.
