Core Tip
Core Tip: Radiological methods play a key role in diagnosing acute pancreatitis, assessing its severity and predicting its prognosis. This letter adds to the literature with radiological differential diagnoses of pancreatitis and additional imaging techniques that can be used in acute pancreatitis. In addition, we described the imaging features of walled off necrosis, which is a complication that negatively affects prognosis.
