A member asked:
How does pancreatitis show up in the ct ? how does previous pancreatitis show up in the scan with constrast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pancreatitis: Acute pancreatitis will show up as inflammation in the pancreas. Previous pancreatitis should not be visible unless there is still some inflammation present. If chronic pancreatitis develops, calcification or changes in the size and appearance of the pancreas are possible.
