Revised Atlanta Criteria–Defined Fluid Collections and Their Imaging Features [27]

Pancreatitis Type, Fluid Collection Type Imaging Features
Interstitial edematous pancreatitis
 Acute peripancreatic fluid collection (APFC) No defined wall; peripancreatic in location; conforms to adjacent spaces; homogeneous; no solid or semisolid material
 Pseudocyst Same as APFC, but with defined wall, typically more than 4 wk from onset
Necrotizing pancreatitis
 Acute necrotic collection (ANC) No defined wall; pancreatic and/or peripancreatic in location; may be transspatial; contains fluid, nonliquified debris, fat globules, or loculations
