“…On the other hand, ERCP studies demonstrated an increased frequency of pancreas divisum in patients with signs of a pancreatitis [16,31,32]. However, these ERCP studies are of limited value as they included only symptomatic patients.…”

“…39,40 The prevalence of PD in RAP varies across various studies (Table 6). 25,[35][36][37][41][42][43] A recent community-based study from Japan included 504 subjects from the general population, and 46 patients with pancreatitis (8 AP, 23 CP and 15 RAP). PD was present in 35% of patients with pancreatitis versus 2.6% in the general community and had an odds ratio of 23.4 for inducing pancreatitis.…”

Recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) is defined as more than two attacks of acute pancreatitis (AP) without any evidence of underlying chronic pancreatitis (CP). As the known causes of AP are generally taken care of, RAP usually occurs in the idiopathic group, which forms 20%- In general, empirical cholecystectomy should be discouraged with the availability and widespread use of EUS. Endoscopic sphincterotomy is advised if there is strong suspicion of SOD. Minor papilla sphincterotomy should be carried out in those with PD but with limited expectations. Regular follow-up of patients with IRAP is necessary because most patients are likely to develop CP in due course.

Whole-Body MRI Screening

Focal liver lesions are present in more than 5 % of the population and are often detected incidentally when an imaging study is performed for another reason. In 40 % of cases, it is not possible to categorize such incidental lesions adequately by imaging ( Strobel and Bernatik 2006 ). Liver lesions are especially challenging for the radiologist interpreting whole-body screening MRI studies, which typically only include non-contrast-enhanced pulse sequences. With unenhanced MR images, only a crude characterization of focal liver lesions is possible.In the screening situation, we can roughly distinguish three categories of focal liver lesions: benign cysts and cyst-like lesions, benign solid masses, and solid malignancies (Table 8.1 ). Lesions with a cystic appearance such as dysontogenetic cysts, echinococcal cysts, and cavernous hemangiomas can be diagnosed with confi dence on the basis of an unenhanced MRI examination (including conventional T1-and T2-weighted sequences), and treatment recommendations can be made accordingly. This is not the case for solid liver lesions such as focal nodular hyperplasia, hepatocellular adenoma, metastasis, hepatocellular carcinoma, or cholangiocellular carcinoma. In most instances, a contrast-enhanced study is necessary to characterize solid liver lesions and estimate their total extent.
