title: Imaging pancreas transplants.
abstract: Pancreas transplants are performed in multiple centres across the UK with good graft survival rates. This places an increasing demand on radiology services, particularly as the complication rates are not insignificant. The imaging appearances of pancreas transplants and their complications can be difficult to interpret. This review provides an illustrative journey through the anatomical appearances of a graft and the imaging appearances of complications, as a reference tool for radiologists.
