1) To review conventional CT and its limitations for diagnosing pancreatic neoplasms 2) To illustrate novel CT imaging techniques for diagnosing pancreatic neoplasms 3) To demonstrate optimal strategies using these techniques by presenting experimental data and clinical images 

1) Conventional CT and its limitations in diagnosing pancreatic neoplasms ・limited density resolution/ indeterminate lesion ・beam-hardening (BH) effect/ limited spatial resolution 2) Novel CT imaging techniques ・monochromatic imaging/optimal CNR technique and BH reduction ・material density imaging ・spectral HU curve ・high definition CT (HDCT) and iterative reconstruction (IR) 3) Optimal strategies for pancreatic CT
