Abstract: Acute pancreatitis is a common acute abdominal disease. Objective, accurate, and comprehensive imaging examinations and diagnostic reports are of great significance for the grading of acute pancreatitis, further clinical treatment decisions and patient prognostic assessment. Currently, there is a lack of corresponding guidelines domestically, which leads to issues such as high subjectivity in diagnostic reports, incomplete content descriptions, and non-standard use of terminology. This guideline, incorporating domestic and international research advancements, proposes 17 recommendations based on evidence-based medicine. Its aim is to standardize the accuracy and consistency of imaging diagnostic reports for acute pancreatitis in China, further improve the standardization of imaging diagnosis for this disease, and assist in selecting clinical treatment strategies.
