Description

Perfusion computed tomography(P-CT) is now available for the analysis of pancreatic blood flow. The aim of this study was to clarify pancreatic blood perfusion in AIP patients and the changes after steroid treatment. Color map imaging of P-CT and pancreatic time CT density curve(TDC) demonstrated that the pancreatic blood flow was attenuated in AIP patients. Pancreatic volumetric blood flow FV values of 11 AIP patients (82.7/min) were significantly lower than those of 12 normal controls (163.5/min, p=0.0006). AIP patients received steroid treatment and were re-examined, of these, 9 patients showed significantly elevated FV values after treatment (76.2/min and 109.8/min, p=0.0391, respectively). However, the changes of the values after the treatment differed in varying degrees among the individuals. P-CT is a useful method for the analysis of the blood flow in pancreatic diseases.<br>
