Abstract
Acute pancreatitis is one of the common causes of the pain abdomen. CECT plays an important role in the
diagnosis and management of the disease. The modied CT Severity Index which we are using gives an
idea of the inammation of the pancreas, necrosis and extra pancreatic complications. The present study is a prospective
correlative study done on the patients with acute pancreatitis which is conrmed either clinically/ hematologically/
radiologically. CECT abdomen was done and the patients were categorized into mild, moderate and severe pancreatitis. The
various clinical outcome parameters were taken and correlated with the severity on CECT. In our study we found that CECT is a
valuable tool in diagnosing, evaluating the extent of the disease and complications and it if found correlating excellently with
the clinical outcome of the patients.
