The use of MRI digital subtraction technique in the diagnosis of traumatic pancreatic injury
Traumatic pancreatic injuries are relatively uncommon in the setting of trauma, however, early detection of these injuries can alter patient management and overall prognosis. Computed tomography is the first line imaging modality in major trauma. Because failure to recognize pancreatic or main pancr...

description | Traumatic pancreatic injuries are relatively uncommon in the setting of trauma, however, early detection of these injuries can alter patient management and overall prognosis. Computed tomography is the first line imaging modality in major trauma. Because failure to recognize pancreatic or main pancreatic duct injuries can lead to mismanagement, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be a useful adjunct study in appropriate patients. In this report, we present a case in which MRI was used to diagnose traumatic avulsion and devascularization of the entire pancreas in a patient following a motor vehicle accident and we also include a review of the literature on this topic. It is our conclusion from this case report that MRI is the most effective imaging modality—specifically the subtraction post processing sequences—to evaluate severe pancreatic injury. |
