Complementary comments on diagnosis, severity and prognosis prediction of acute pancreatitis

Figure 3 Computed tomography and contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in necrotizing pancreatitis (original image). A: Computed tomography (CT) image of a patient with known necrotizing pancreatitis. On the pancreatic bed, 73 mm × 45 mm fluid collection with irregular thick walls (orange arrow) was seen along with a focal wedge shaped peripheral non-enhancement of spleen consistent with infarction (yellow arrow); B: Two days following the CT scan, the same patient’s contrast-enhanced T1 weighted fat-saturated magnetic resonance image showed thromboembolic hypointensity in the splenic artery (blue arrow).
