Computed tomography characteristics of acute pancreatitis based on different etiologies at different onset times: a retrospective cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The clinical characteristics and imaging findings of acute pancreatitis (AP) are different across the various etiologies, the results are conflicting, and their time from symptom onset to imaging varies. The imaging findings of different etiologies at different onset times are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the computed tomography (CT) characteristics of AP based on different etiologies at different onset times.

Methods

Patients who underwent plain and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) for the first attack of AP in 3 hospitals (Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College, Chinese People's Liberation Army Western Theater General Hospital, and Suining Central Hospital) from 2015 to 2019 were recruited. According to the different etiolog
