NCT04582461 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Preoperative assessment of visceral fat volume(VFV),total fat volume(TFV),pancreas/spleen density ratio and pancreatic duct diameter by multislice computed tomography abdomen to predict the risk of pancreatic fistula after Whipple's operation.

Conditions

  • Pancreatic Fistula

Interventions

DEVICE

multislice computed tomography

All patients will undergo a preoperative multiphasic multidetector CT scan before surgery.The unenhanced scan will be used to generate a CT reconstruction of the upper abdomen (from the diaphragm to the kidneys) with a 5mm thickness. Two different radiologists (D.F. and D.I.), blinded to patient information, measured total fat volume (TFV), visceral fat volume (VFV), and analyzed pixels with densities in the - 190 hounsfield units (HU) to - 20 HU range. the ratio between the density of the pancreas over the density of the spleen will be calculated and the maximum diameter of the pancreatic duct will be measured using the arterial phase in order to better identify the entire length of the duct.
