Abstract

Acute pancreatitis is common and requires multidisciplinary management. The revised Atlanta classification, published in 2012, defines the terminology necessary to enable specialists from different backgrounds to discuss the morphological and clinical types of acute pancreatitis. Radiologists’ role depends fundamentally on computed tomography (CT), which makes it possible to classify the morphology of this disease and to predict its clinical severity by applying imaging severity indices. Furthermore, CT- or ultrasound-guided drainage is, together with endoscopy, the current technique of choice in the initial approach to collections that appear as a complication. This paper aims to disseminate the concepts coined in the revised Atlanta classification and to describe the current role of radiologists in the diagnosis and treatment of acute pancreatitis.

Resumen

La pancreatitis aguda es una patología frecuente que requiere un manejo multidisciplinar. La revisión de 2012 de la clasificación de Atlanta proporciona la terminología más aceptada en este momento para hablar de sus tipos morfológicos y clínicos entre los distintos especialistas expertos. El papel de la radiología viene dado fundamentalmente por la tomografía computarizada (TC), que permite hacer una clasificación morfológica de esta patología y predecir su gravedad clínica con la aplicación de índices de gravedad por imagen. Además, el drenaje radiológico guiado por TC o ecografía es, junto con el endoscópico, la técnica de elección actual en el abordaje inicial de las colecciones que aparecen como complicación. El objetivo de este trabajo es difundir los conceptos acuñados en la revisión de la clasificación de Atlanta y describir el papel actual del radiólogo en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la pancreatitis aguda.
