Description
Background: Currently, pancreatic lesions are becoming more frequent and are a major source of morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is important to assess the imaging techniques that aid in the early diagnosis, assessment, and characterisation of these lesions. Early diagnosis of tiny pancreatic lesions is attainable with triphasic contrast studies and multidetector computed tomography, which both provides the best evaluation of pancreatic lesions. Aim and Objective: To assess the role of Multi detector Computed Tomography in evaluation, characterization and classification Of Traumatic, Inflammatory and Neoplastic Pancreatic Lesions. Materials and Methods: This was prospective observational study in which total 78 patients of all ages who had been clinically suspected of having pancreatic diseases were referred to the radiology department were included in the study after following inclusion and exclusion criteria after getting ethical approval and consent from the patients. Results and Conclusion: Adenocarcinomas in particular have a male to female ratio of 1:4 and are more prevalent in females. Males frequently experience inflammation and trauma. In pancreatic neoplasm, the head of the pancreas is the most frequent site, solid tumours are more prevalent, and most of them are malignant. Mucinous cystadenoma was the most common benign tumor whereas Adenocarcinoma is the most common malignant tumor followed by secondary metastasis predominantly from liver. Conclusion: Neoplasms are more common in females, Inflammatory & trauma are common in males, with increase in age there is shift in frequency of cases from inflammatory to neoplasm.
