Computed tomography findings for predicting the future occurrence of pancreatic cancer: value of pancreatic volumetry

The features of pancreatic parenchyma that tend to progress towards pancreatic cancer (PC) are unknown. We performed volumetry of the pancreas in PC patients using computed tomography (CT) scans acquired before detection of PC, and investigated whether CT findings of pancreatic parenchyma could predict the future occurrence of PC. Between April 2009 and March 2017, a total of 3769 patients underwent abdominal contrast-enhanced CT, the scans of...
