Abstract:
The study was performed on 41 patients using concurrently ultrasound and CT scanner. They were diagnosed surgically and by blood amylase quantified 3 fold higher than normal subjects. Kappa’s indicators were applied for evaluating the concord between ultrasound and CT scanned images. Results showed that both methods of diagnosis were effective for identification and monitoring acute inflammation of the pancrea. In the prognosis, CT scanning is great advantage, especially in necrosis of the parenchyme. Both were limited on the detection of hemorrhagic form of micronecrosis.
