Figure 6

(Patient 3, scan 1) CT scan 19 days after trauma and 17 days after laparotomy due to pancreatitis. Drainage at the level of the upper abdomen placed along the left hepatic lobe of the pancreas head and body. There are discrete air pockets between the left hepatic lobe and the pancreatic head. The pancreas appears to be vigorous and slightly blurred. In the peripancreatic tissue, low-density increases are observed. No new liquid formations are observed.
