Early detection and accurate diagnosis of pancreato-biliary tumors remain crucial to increase the rate of curative surgery. 1)To descrive the basics of small focal spot and iterative model reconstruction techniques for pancreato-biliary diseases 2) To understand the clinical utility of the technique for high-quality 2D and 3D CT, illlustrated through representive examples of clinical studies

1.The theoretical background of high-quality CT imaging with a small focal spot ( focal spot size in the X-ray tube) and the iterative model reconstruction (full iterative reconstruction) technique 2.The protocol for CT imaging of the pancreato-biliary system using high image-quality techniques with contrast-enhanced CT 3.A review of the high-quality 3D CT findings  - Fine vascular anatomy of the pancreato-biliary system 4.Comparison of the usual CT and high-qualty CT images of the pancreato-biliary system with respect to their clinical utility
