What is Accuracy of a CT density threshold enhancement to identify pancreatic parenchyma necrosis in acute pancreatitis during the first week about?
## Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify attenuation threshold value on computed tomography (ct) that allowed discriminating between interstitial edematous pancreatitis (iep) and necrotizing pancreatitis (np) in patients with acute pancreatitis during the first week of the disease and evaluate interobserver reproducibility for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis category. ## Materials and methods: Patients with acute pancreatitis who underwent ct examination of the abdomen between march 2015 and december 2019 were retrospectively included. actual diagnosis of iep or np was based on final clinical report, follow-up evaluation, and complications. six regions of interest were manually placed in the pancreatic gland and peripancreatic fat, and differences in ct attenuation values before contrast injection and during the portal venous phase of enhancement were computed. performance in the diagnosis of ap category was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic analysis. interobserver agreement was estimated by the intraclass correlation coefficient (icc) and bland altman analysis was used to estimate reproducibility between pairs of observers. ## Results: Sixty-six pa
