Prediction of pancreatic atrophy after steroid therapy using equilibrium‐phase contrast computed tomography imaging in autoimmune pancreatitis

摘要

Imaging tools for predicting pancreatic atrophy after steroid therapy in autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) have not been established. As delayed equilibrium‐phase contrast enhancement in computed tomography (CE‐CT) may reflect interstitial fibrosis, we evaluated the ability of equilibrium‐phase CT imaging for predicting pancreatic atrophy.
