TABLE 3:
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 |
Walled-off necrosis | Same as ANC, but with defined wall, typically more than 4 weeks from onset |
