Abstract
This pilot study is the first in literature to diagnose necrosis in patients with acute pancreatitis using 13NH3 PET/CT. With minimal additional radiation burden, it is possible to estimate the absolute tissue perfusion as well. With no adverse renal side effects, this can be an alternative to CECT in patients with renal failure giving similar information. It has good agreement with CECT with a good interobserver acceptability.
