Comparative Registry of Structural Features of Pancreatic Collections Found on Cross Sectional Imaging
The purpose of this project is to provide appropriate administrative and technical supports
for the warehousing and use of imaging data in pancreatic necrosis data for research
purposes.
for the warehousing and use of imaging data in pancreatic necrosis data for research
purposes.
The aim of this study is to create a prospective registry of patients with pancreatic
collections and their imaging studies (including CT, MRI, EUS, and direct endoscopic
visualization) to compare these techniques, develop standardized methods for analyzing these
imaging studies, and use this information to enhance management of patients with pancreatic
collections. There is very limited published literature on these peripancreatic lesions that
compares all three of these modalities and thus we aim to study it in detail.
