This  initial  Atlanta  classification system  represented  major  progress,  but advancing knowledge of the disease process, improved imaging, and ever-changing treatment options such as minimally invasive radiologic, endoscopic, and  laparoscopic  procedures  soon  rendered  some  of  the  definitions  inadequate or ambiguous , presenting a need  to  revise  and  update  the  Atlanta  classification. The revision in 2012 places major emphasis on revised on new criteria for pancreatic fluid collections and revises some of the clinical criteria and terminology. Objectives: To learn how imaging should be scheduled (or  not) for patients with acute pancreatitis To become familiar with the imaging features and  the new terminology proposed in the revised  2012 Atlanta classification To discuss the remaining limitations of the 2012  Atlanta Classification  Conclusion:        The  goal  is  for  radiologists,  gastroenterologists,  surgeons,  and  pathologists  to  use the revised classifications to standardize imaging terminology to facilitate treatment planning and enable precise comparison  of  results  among  different  departments  and  institutions.    }, keywords = {acute pancreatitis,Atlanta classification,standardize imaging terminology}, url = {https://www.icrjournal.ir/article_75489.html}, eprint = {} }
