Pancreas Necrosis
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this project is to provide appropriate administrative and technical supports for the warehousing and use of imaging data in pancreatic necrosis data for research purposes.
Detailed description
The aim of this study is to create a prospective registry of patients with pancreatic collections and their imaging studies (including CT, MRI, EUS, and direct endoscopic visualization) to compare these techniques, develop standardized methods for analyzing these imaging studies, and use this information to enhance management of patients with pancreatic collections. There is very limited published literature on these peripancreatic lesions that compares all three of these modalities and thus we aim to study it in detail.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| to define severity of pancreatitis as mild, moderate, severe; based on amount of debris in the pancreatic lesion (mild: < 30% debris, moderate: 30-50% debris, severe: >50% debris) | one year | Pancreatic lesions will be evaluated using CT, MRI, EUS, endoscopy to assess for severeity based on amount of debris in the pancreatic lesion |
