3D Technique Used	VRT / MIP using InSpace only
Comment: Key is optimal detection and staging of disease in pancreas. This is an ideal 3D angiographic protocol as well. With CT angioplasty we will use VRT supplemented by MIP. MPR especially in sagittal plane may be useful. Filming: Recon- Both phases 5x5 for filming. Recon lung and liver 5x5 for filming.
