1. To review the epidemiology, pathophysiology and classification of traumatic injuries to the pancreas. 2. To review key radiological findings in traumatic injuries of the pancreas including findings on MDCT and MRCP 3. To discuss the management of traumatic pancreas injuries, including algorithms based on imaging findings  

-Discuss the epidemiology and pathophysiology of traumatic pancreas injuries -Review the imaging modalities available for imaging abdominal trauma, with emphasis on MDCT as the initial modality of choice -Explain the AAST grading scheme of pancreatic injuries using MDCT -Illustrate key findings of pancreatic trauma seen on MDCT and MRCP -Discuss an imaging based algorithm for the management of traumatic injuries to the pancreas including the role of curved planar minimal intensity reconstructions as well as secretin and Eovist enhanced cholangiopancreatography.
