This pictorial review discusses the imaging findings in acute pancreatic injury and its delayed complications. These findings are related to key decisions in surgical management. Emphasis is placed on the difficulty of acute diagnosis using CT and the pivotal role of endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP) in the definition of ductal anatomy with delayed diagnosis.
