ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is characterized by acute onset, rapid development, and poor prognosis. Timely diagnosis and identification of the cause are the key to formulating the clinical program and improving the prognosis. There were several studies on this topic but the results varied. This study systematically evaluated and analyzed reports on the comparison of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) for the diagnosis of AP in recent years, providing evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Methods
