    Abstract

    A radiological classification of pancreatitis based upon the computed tomographic appearances of gas formation, inflammatory mass, pseudocyst formation, calcification, atrophy or combinations of these features is proposed. Computed Body Tomography (CBT) has the advantage over ultrasound or endoscopic retrograde cholangiocreatography (ERCP) in being sensitive in the detection of gas, fluid or calcification occurring either separately or in conjunction in inflammatory disease of pancreas.
