“…A partially good agreement could be found with the results published by Kreel [8], but only in the pancreas head region in the 6th and 7th decades. Because his patients were not divided into specific age groups, large differences may occur, in particular with the results from very young and very old patients.…”

“…The advent of computed tomography (CT) scanning has made direct visualization of the pancreas and other retroperitoneal structures possible [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Initial evaluations of normal pancreas using CT were done by Haaga [5][6][7], Sheedy [13,14], and Kreel [8]. These authors assessed diameters at right angles to the axis of the organ, without detailed correlation of the shape and structure of the pancreas itself or any reference to patient's age.…”

“…These are at best only a rough guide to pancreatic size, and it is important to correlate the full dimensions of the gland when evaluating the suspected pancreatic enlargement. [15] AP diameters of the pancreas in our series were different and not compatible with the values reported in the literature [16,17] as noticed in table (2) The data were expressed as Mean ± STDV, *Normal p-value is 0.05…”

“…The use of the proposed formula, which includes commonly measured diameters of the pancreas by cross-sectional imaging, will provide fast calculation of the approximate pancreatic size in the regular clinical practice. One study had also reported that in adults beyond 60 years of age, both total and parenchymal pancreas measurements gradually decline and fat infiltration of the pancreas have been reported with aging in humans (16,17). Previous anatomical studies reported that pancreas measurements decreased after age 60 (18,19,20).…”

Abstract:Normal pancreas has variable sizes therefore this study was conducted to define the normal pancreatic size and CT number for Sudanese to establish a local reference value. A total number of 241 Sudanese subjects were included in the study, 161 (66.8%) were males and 80 (33.2%) were females, their mean ages were 40.6 ± 16.1; all were examined using cross-sectional computerized tomography (CT) imaging for abdomen. The subject's ages and gender were recorded and the body characteristics including height, weight, BMI, abdomen circumference (AC), were evaluated and correlated with pancreas size and CT number. This study revealed that the head of pancreas size was 27.9 ± 4.5 mm, the body was 23.1 ± 3.7mm, and tail was 19.0 ± 3.1mm, while the CT number (Hounsfield unit) was 59.1 ± 14, 57.3 ± 12.6 and 55.2 ± 13.1 respectively. Also the study showed a significant relation between the pancreas size, pancreas CT number, age, and AC at (p˂0.05).

“…For the measurement we used the mean ventrodorsal diameter described by Kreel et al [6]: pancreatic body is 20_+ 2.5 ram. Atrophy is defined as less than 15 mm and enlargement is larger than 25 ram.…”

Computed tomographic findings in patients with localized and extensive pancreatic head cancer were studied. Widening of the pancreatic duct existed in both groups; mass shadow was hardly detected in localized and rather easily detected in extensive cancer; duodenal invasion and obliteration of fat planes were found only in extensive type; enlargement of the pancreas was a confusing factor of tumor detection in localized type; atrophy of the pancreatic body and tail was a most favorable indirect sign in extensive cancer.of pancreas -Pancreatic neoplasms Computed tomography has been anticipated as a useful method for detecting tumor in the head of the pancreas [1][2][3][4][5]. However, correlations between tumor staging and CT findings were not fully explained. In this report we focus on the CT findings in cases with localized and extensive carcinoma in the pancreatic head. Materials and MethodsTwenty-two cases were selected for this retrospective study. Two cases were carcinoma originating in the distal end of the choledochus. Existence of neoplasm in all was proven by modified Whipple's procedure or exploratory laparotomy.The materials were divided into 2 groups. The first group (localized type) was composed of 7 cases in which a tumor was localized in the parenchyma of the pancreas. The second group (extensive type) included 15 cases with tumor involvement to the duodenum, peripancreatic fat planes, and adjacent vessels of the pancreatic head.Computed tomography was performed with a Siemens Somatom, which has a 256 x256 matrix, 5 sec scan time, 4 or 8 mm Address reprint requests to: K.
