Computed tomographic differentiation between alcoholic and gallstone pancreatitis: Significance of distribution of infiltration or fluid collection

Figure 1 Peripancreatic infiltration scores (1-3). A: Score 1 (Irregular peripancreatic infiltration without fluid collection). CT showing irregular strands of peripancreatic fat infiltrations in the compartment of RP (arrow), LP (open arrows), and LSR (arrowhead); B: Score 2 (Peripancreatic fluid collection with no or equivocal degree of mass effect). CT showing multiple fluid collections without mass effect in the compartment of RSR (arrows) and LSR (open arrows). Score 1 infiltrations in the compartment of RP and LP (arrowheads) are also seen; C: Score 3 (Peripancreatic fluid collection with definite mass effect to adjacent organs). CT showing score 3 fluid collection in the LP and LSR compartments (arrows) displacing or compressing adjacent bowels.
