Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the features and visualization of venous arcades of the pancreatic head (VAPH) using 16-slice CT with different techniques.Methods Portal-phase CT scanning with 16-slice CT was performed in 40 cases.The visualized rate of VAPH with axial images,thin slice maximum intensity projection(TSMIP) and volume rendering(VR) was assessed.Results With axial images,TSMIP and VR,the visualized rate of right gastro-epiploic vein and gastro-colic vein were all 100% and 80% respectively;while for right colic superior vein was 100%,87.5% and 80%;pancreaticoduodenal posterior-superior vein was 92.5%,65% and 40%;pancreaticoduodenal anterior-superior vein was 92.5%,62.5% and 45% respectively.Conclusion VAPH can be showed definitely using 16-slice CT in combination of axial images,TSMIP and VR images.
