Abstract
Aim. To evaluate the possibilities of post-processing of multidetector computed tomography (CT) results in the non-invasive diagnosis of pancreatic fibrosis (PF).
Materials and methods. The study included 165 patients aged 57.91±13.5 years who underwent preoperative CT during surgical treatment for chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer from April 2022 to February 2024. The normalized contrast ratios of pancreatic tissue in the pancreatic (NCPP) and venous (NCVP) phases, as well as the contrast ratio (CR) were measured. Pathomorphological assessment of PF performed in tissues outside neoplasm or desmoplastic reaction by the Kloppel and Maillet scale.
Results. The values of post-processing CT results were compared in groups with different degrees of PF. Mean CR values were significantly higher (p=0.001) in patients with severe PF (CR 1.16±0.65 HU) than in patients with mild PF (CR 0.78±0.31 HU). CR value significant increase (p=0.03) was found in patients with signs of inflammatory changes in the pancreas tissue (CR 1.14±0.6 HU) than in those without them (CR 0.81±0.3 HU). There were no significant differences between the values of NCPP and NCVP, and the degree of PF.
Conclusion. The CR value increased in patients with severe degree of PF. There was a relationship between CR value increase and the radiological density of pancreatic tissue in non-contrast phase and presence of early signs of pancreatic inflammatory changes. Thus, there was a relationship between CT postprocessing results and morphological signs of PF, which can be used for pancreatic fibrosis non-invasive diagnosis and identification of additional signs of early chronic pancreatitis.
