CT abdomen general
The general principles of the CT abdomen examination.
Pathology - Pancreas & Spleen
Pancreas
The pancreatic drainage system is variable. Many people have one pancreatic duct which drains into Vater's papilla. Some people have an accessory pancreatic duct, also known as Santorini’s duct (anatomic variation). The accessory pancreatic duct drains into the minor papilla (fig. 15). Other anatomic variations, such as the pancreatic divisum, will not be discussed in this course.
