Abstract
Acute pancreatitis is an important cause of acute abdominal pain. Imaging plays the central role in the management of selected cases of acute pancreatitis, complementing laboratory investigations such as serum amylase and lipase levels that have relatively high sensitivity and specificity. In addition to clinical signs and laboratory investigations, imaging helps in confirming the clinical diagnosis when or if there is any uncertainty. Imaging also helps in elucidation of the cause and grading the extent & severity of acute pancreatitis. Besides all of the mentioned advantages Imaging aids in the early detection of complications too.
