title: [Axial tomodensitometry in acute pancreatitis].
abstract: Early surgery for the treatment of acute necrotizing pancreatitis is important. With the CAT-scan we evaluated the extent of the lesions of the pancreatitis in 26 patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Due to severe clinical symptoms and the CAT-results 12 of these patients had to be operated. We found a good correlation between intraoperative extent of disease and the CAT-scan.
