Abstract

The progressive advancement in computed tomography (CT) technology has enabled improved diagnosis and management of pancreatic tumors. Some of these improvements are seen in multidetector CT, dual-energy CT, perfusion CT, and post-processing techniques. Despite the technological improvement, prognosis for tumors such as pancreatic adenocarcinomas remains dismal. This review article will discuss some of the tips, tricks, and pitfalls for optimal utilization of these imaging techniques to characterize, diagnosis, and manage some of the more common pancreatic tumors such as adenocarcinomas, cystic tumors, and neuroendocrine tumors.
