STUDY OF CT SCAN VERSUS ULTRASONOGRAPHY IN DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE PANCREATITIS

Abstract

A pancreatic inflammation with a high morbidity and mortality rate is known as pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis can be categorized into mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Ultrasonography gives an early radiological evaluation of the organ, a hint as to the degree of involvement, and a chance to scan adjacent abdominal organs. An organ's crosssectional morphology, internal structure, focal or diffuse involvement, and involvement of nearby structures are all provided by a CT scan. Understanding the roles and difference in diagnosis of CT and USG in pancreatitis was the main goal, as was highlighting and assessing the instances in which USG was unable to diagnose cases that CT helped to resolve.
