Diagnostic and Interventional Therapy in Acute Pancreatitis

August 8, 2011 updated by: University of Regensburg
The study aims to evaluate the course of patients with acute pancreatitis. Thereby we analyze different diagnostics and compare ultrasound, MRI and CT-scan in detection of necrotic areas and evaluate interventional therapy methods like percutaneous drainage techniques regarding the outcome. Laboratory values were assessed as well.
