Evaluation of Periampullary Pathology With CT Volumetric Oblique Coronal Reformations

¹ All authors: Department of Radiology, Stanford University Medical Center, 300 Pasteur Dr., Rm. H1307, Stanford, CA 94305.

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to show the value of volumetric oblique coronal reformation of CT data sets for assessing the normal anatomy and abnormalities of the ampulla of Vater.

CONCLUSION. Volumetric oblique coronal reformations are a useful noninvasive method to provide diagnostic information about periampullary abnormalities as well as show secondary features important for local staging and management. The technique is also valuable in providing a time-efficient method to review pertinent findings with clinicians.

Keywords: 3D reformation • ampulla of Vater • periampullary pathology • volumetric imaging
