Acute pancreatitis
Choice of modality
- Ultrasonography of pancreatitis is generally the first investigation of choice in suspected acute pancreatitis.[1][2][3]
- CT of pancreatitis is indicated in:
- Suspected severe pancreatitis (such as persisting organ failure, signs of sepsis, or deterioration in clinical status 3-7 days after admission),[4] in order to stage the severity,[3] also in children.[5]
- More uncertain diagnosis, such as acute abdominal pain where the clinic does not point towards the biliary system or pancreas, or a previous ultrasound not adequately visualizing the pancreas, also in children.[5]
- Initial evaluation of suggested chronic pancreatitis.[6]
- If a patient is treated for an acute pancreatitis of unknown cause without ultrasonograhy, it is appropriate to do an ultrasonography of gallstones, which can be done at a later time.
