Abstract
Introduction : Imaging of the pancreas is challenging because of its anatomical location in the retroperitoneum and its intricate relationship with major blood vessels and bowel. Pancreatic cysts are common with prevalence of 49.1% and an incidence of 12.9% during 5 year follow up. Pancreatic cancer estimates approximately 3% of all cancers and is the 4th most frequent cause of cancer related death. The incidence is increasing and the overall survival has been altered a little in the recent years. The overall 5 year survival rate of pancreatic cancer ranges from 0.4% to 4%, the lowest for any cancer. CT has been the imaging modality of choice for evaluation of pancreatic pathology.
