Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is the 10th most common malignancy and the 4th largest cancer killer in adults. Surgery offers the only chance of curing these patients.
Multidetector CT (MDCT) has gained a great role in clinical imaging practice in a short time. Its major advantages are faster image acquisition and improved z-axis resolution. In spite of the advent of other imaging modalities CT is still the gold standard for the evaluation of pancreatic pathology.
Multidetector computed tomography (CT) and advanced postprocessing techniques, can provide solutions for difficult problems in diagnosing and staging disease, and can aid radiologists in communicating findings to surgeons and oncologists. Multiplanar reformats can provide additional information on involvement of the portal vein, hepatic artery, and common bile duct. Maximum intensity projection (MIP) images and volume rendered images can aid in identification of important vascular variants.
