Description
Summary:Background/Aims: Pancreatic steatosis (PS) is a subject of current interest, and its prevalence has been reported to range from 16.1% to 30.7% using various radiological methods. This study aimed to evaluate PS prevalence using non-contrast computed tomography (CT). Materials and Methods: The non-contrast CT scans taken in 2016 and 2017 in our hospital were retrospectively screened. A total of 637 patients (320 men and 317 women) were included in the study. The number measurements on the CT were performed from 3 anatomic regions of the pancreas using regions of interest (ROI) of approximately 1 cm (2). The cases with a
