AI Article Synopsis

  • The review covers key events in the development of the pancreas (pancreatic embryology) and highlights related congenital anomalies and normal variations.
  • Each variant is described along with its appearances on various imaging techniques such as CT scans, MR imaging, and endoscopic procedures.
  • Different radiologic modalities will be used to illustrate these pancreatic variations, enhancing understanding of their presentation.

Article Abstract

In this review, a brief discussion of the important events of pancreatic embryology is followed by presentation of congenital anomalies and normal variants. For each variant, the appearance at different radiologic modalities including computed tomography, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, MR cholangiopancreatography, and fluoroscopy will be demonstrated.
