Correlation between Pancreatic Duct Variation and Related Diseases: An Effective Method Observing the Dual-Energy CT with Low-keV Monoenergetic Images
Purpose: Pancreatic duct variation can affect the secretory function of the pancreas. We aimed to explore the pancreatic duct variation, observed using low-keV monoenergetic images [MEI (+)] of dual-energy CT (DECT), and its relationship with related diseases. We further sought to compare pancreatic...

description | Purpose: Pancreatic duct variation can affect the secretory function of the pancreas. We aimed to explore the pancreatic duct variation, observed using low-keV monoenergetic images [MEI (+)] of dual-energy CT (DECT), and its relationship with related diseases. We further sought to compare pancreatic duct imaging using low-keV MEI (+) of DECT and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). Materials and Methods: The DECT and MRCP images of 854 patients were evaluated retrospectively. The 808 patients’ pancreatic duct types were classified according to the anatomy and the opening of the pancreatic ducts, and the correlation with related diseases was analyzed. The DECT and MRCP images of 852 patients were graded according to the sharpness of the pancreatic ducts for evaluation. Results: A higher prevalence of acute pancreatitis (AP), chronic pancreatitis (CP), and duodenal papillary carcinoma (DPC) was observed in the variant group. Of the 27 AP cases in the variant group, 9 patients (33.3%) were Type 3c. Additionally, Type 4a was significantly correlated with AP and CP (p < 0.05). Low-keV MEI (+) of DECT outperformed the MRCP images in the sharpness of the pancreatic ducts in 852 patients. Conclusions: Pancreatic duct variation is associated with AP, CP, and DPC. Low-keV MEI (+) DECT is an effective method to observe the pancreatic duct system. |
