Videos : Abdomen: Pancreas

 

Staging of pancreatic cancer: 3D mapping was done in a series of 11 reconstructions showing the role of 3D imaging for the evaluation and staging of pancreatic carcinoma. Analysis of arterial and venous structures as well as evaluation of ducts, such as the evaluation of the common duct and pancreatic duct, as well as pancreatic mass is seen. Role of MIP versus VRT is defined.

Pancreatic Mass : 3-D images demonstrate a large cystic pancreatic mass with systolic calcification. Occlusion of th epatient's splenic vein is seen with large collaterals defined. This is a beautiful example of a classic serous cystadenoma appearance. Multiple 3-D images and 2-D images are enclosed.

Pancreatic cancer : 3D mapping using volume rendering and MIP as well as coronal and sagittal displays demonstrates large mass involving body and tail of pancreas with encasement consistent with unresectable pancreatic cancer. The use of MIP and volume rendering is ideal for determining the extent of vascular involvement and it is far more accurate than looking simply at the axial views. However, combining all of them interactively is the technique of choice.
