title: Computed tomography of the normal pancreatic uncinate process.
abstract: The uncinate process of the pancreas has been assessed in 106 consecutive patients without pancreatic disease in order to establish normal features. The process measures approximately 1 X 1.3 cm in size, is frequently inseparable from the superior mesenteric vein without contrast enhancement and can adopt a number of cross-sectional configurations.
