title: CT of pancreas: minimum intensity projections.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this pictorial essay is to showcase the use of minimum intensity projection in the imaging of low attenuation structures such as the pancreatic duct.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Minimum intensity projection is a valuable adjunct to other processing techniques for the diagnosis and staging of pancreatic adenocarcinoma and cystic tumors of the pancreas.
