Figure 2 A 45-year-old woman diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus for 6 years with severe acute pancreatitis, whose random blood glucose level was 19. 19 mmol/L. A: Axial T1-weighted image shows local hypointense area (arrow); B: Axial T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) image with fat suppression shows pancreatic swelling and patchy hyperintense area (arrow); C and D: Postcontrast venous phase images reveal nonenhancement necrotic areas (arrow) with < 30% parenchyma involvement in the body of the pancreas (MR severity index score of 6 points). GB: Gall bladder; L: Liver; N: Necrotic areas; P: Pancreas; RK: Right kidney; Sp: Spleen.
