Pancreatic trauma: The role of computed tomography for guiding therapeutic approach

Figure 1 Computed tomography and intra-operative findings of pancreatic parenchymal fracture. A: CT image on axial plan showing a complete laceration of the pancreatic body appearing as a low-attenuation line oriented perpendicular to the long axis of the pancreas (arrow); B: CT image on axial plan showing a complete laceration of the pancreatic body appearing as a low-attenuation line oriented perpendicular to the long axis of the pancreas (arrow); C: CT image on coronal plan showing a complete laceration of the pancreatic body appearing as a low-attenuation line oriented perpendicular to the long axis of the pancreas (arrow); D: Intra-operative finding confirming the CT diagnosis of post-traumatic laceration of the pancreas. CT: Computed tomography.
