... = 0.0076), and abrupt diameter changes of the main pancreatic duct ( p = 0.0008). The CT density of the cysts was higher in mIPMN ( p = 0.0063). The diagnostic accuracy of the summation score (sensitivity: 0.84, specificity: 0.96) was greater when compared to each individual CT parameter. Conclusions...

...) were determined. Receiver operating curve analysis was used to determine optimal cut-offs and sensitivity, specificity and accuracy calculated. Results: FI patients showed lower MRP, MSP, BVU (p < 0.001) and a higher BVP (p = 0.007). Deterioration of the ARM parameter increased with FI severity. ARM...

..., and their ratios were determined in every patient before final diagnosis was established. Step-wise logistic regression analysis was performed. As expected, abnormally low values of individual serum pancreatic enzymes in the diagnosis of CP were highly specific (92-98%) but very insensitive (20-32...
