Diagnostic Accuracy of 256-Detector Row Computed Tomography in Detection and Characterization of Incidental Pancreatic Cystic Lesions

Figure 1

Correlation of MDCT imaging findings with further imaging follow-up studies (MRCP or MDCT), EUS-guided FNA data, or surgical specimen; final diagnoses are also reported for each group (patients stratified according to International Consensus Guidelines for the Management of MCN and IPMN of the Pancreas, 11). For overall final diagnoses (i.e., total IPMNs or MCNs) please refer to data reported in Table 3. MDCT: multidetector computed tomography; MRCP: magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography; EUS: endoscopic ultrasound; FNA: fine-needle aspiration; IPMN: intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (BD: branch duct; MN: main duct); SCN: serous cystic neoplasm; MCN: mucinous cystic neoplasm.
