DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY OF CT-PERFUSION IN DETECTING HIGH GRADE PANCREATIC ADENOCARCINOMA USING PEI

Objective: To estimate the Diagnostic accuracy of CT perfusion using PEI in detecting high grade pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma keeping histopathology as gold standard. Material and Methods: The study conducted in Radiology department of Allied Hospital Faisalabad and the duration of the study was 6 months. Study Design: Cross sectional (validation) study. Results: This study is thus being carried out that how accurately CT perfusion can detect high grade pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma by noninvasive method and by accurate characterization of histologic grade this study will help doctors to opt for targeted treatment and early deaths due to unnecessary surgery can be avoided. Conclusion Perfusion CT can predict tumor grade of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. In particular, PEI and BV perfusion parameters proved their efficiency in identifying high grade pancreatic adenocarcinom
