Abstract

Purpose To evaluate multidetector CT (MDCT) signs of vascular invasion in pancreatic carcinoma. Patients and methods Retrospective review of preoperative dynamic MDCT of 42 patients with pathologically proven pancreatic carcinoma. Results Surgically confirmed invaded vessels were 19 arteries and 33 veins. Multiple signs of vascular invasion were assessed. Conclusion Significant advances have been made in the ability of MDCT to visualize pancreatic cancer and to stage disease when close attention is paid to technique with special attention to multiple signs of vascular invasion.
