Imaging in Acute Pancreatitis
摘要
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas, in which the release and premature activation of the pancreatic enzymes cause tissue damage, leading to possible systemic failure. The terminology and classification scheme proposed for AP at the initial Atlanta Symposium (1992) have been reviewed, and a new consensus statement has been proposed by the Acute Pancreatitis Classification Working Group (2012).
