The recent rapid development of non invasive
imaging techniques helps in the better understanding
of pancreatic disease and its pathology.Inflammation
of parenchyma of pancreas is called as pancreatitis.
It may be acute or chronic. In acute pancreatitis
symptoms appear suddenly in a previously healthy
individual and the symptoms disappear once the
disease subsides. But in chronic pancreatitis the
patient may had prior attacks or symptoms of
pancreatic insufficiency before the current attack, and
their symptoms persists even after the attack. Ability
to study these lesions noninvasively at variable
point in time allow us to differentiate between acute
and chronic pseudo cyst two seemingly similar
entities with different natural history and treatment
requirement.
