1) To review the diagnostic criteria for autoimmune pancreatitis. 2) To discuss the differences between Type 1 and Type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis. 3) To emphasize the need to maximize visualization of pancreatic and intrahepatic ducts and understand temporal changes in contrast enhancement in autoimmune pancreatitis. 4) To describe imaging features of the pancreatic duct and periductal parenchyma in autoimmune pancreatitis that may distinguish it from cancer or chronic pancreatitis. 5) To describe the diagnostic and other frequently seen imaging findings of autoimmune pancreatitis. 6) To illustrate imaging findings showing response to treatment and recurrence of autoimmune pancreatitis after remission. 7) To describe useful imaging features in the differential diagnosis of pancreatitis versus neoplasms and other inflammatory conditions.
