Development of a CT-based radiomics-clinical model to diagnose acute pancreatitis on nonobvious findings on CT in children with pancreaticobiliary maljunction.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Since neither abdominal pain nor pancreatic enzyme elevation is specific for acute pancreatitis (AP), the diagnosis of AP in patients with pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) may be challenging when the pancreas appears normal or nonobvious on CT. This study aimed to develop a quantitative radiomics-based nomogram of pancreatic CT for identifying AP in children with PBM who have nonobvious findings on CT.

Methods

PBM patients with a diagnosis of AP evaluated at the Children's Hospital of Soochow University from June 2015 to October 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. The radiological features and clinical factors associated with AP were evaluated. Based on the selected variables, multivariate logistic regression was used to construct clinical, radiomics, and comb
