Pancreas CT

TC Páncreas

Diagnostic test that involves obtaining high-definition anatomical two- and three-dimensional images of the pancreas using CT (computed tomography) equipment. The study is performed before and after the use of iodinated contrast in different ‘pancreatic phases’ in order to assess all structures (pancreatic parenchyma, pancreatic duct or Wirsung duct, biliary-pancreatic junction, common bile duct, pancreatic arteries, splenic artery and vein, duodenum, etc.). It is particularly recommended when pancreatic injury is suspected, in patients with acute or chronic pancreatitis, etc.
