Computed tomography of the normal pancreatic uncinate process.
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.
