CT Grading of Blunt Pancreatic Injuries: Prediction of Ductal Disruption and Surgical Correlation

Abstract

CT grading of BPIs was useful in predicting ductal integrity or disruption. Ductal disruption was likely present if the pancreas appeared to have a transection or deep laceration on CT scans. It was accurate in grade A and B injuries. Overestimation could occur in grade CI and CII injuries.
