This study aims to investigate the morphometric parameters of the dorsal pancreatic artery and their correlation with pancreatic volume and age.
Combined CT cohort of 84 individuals and cadaveric cohort of 60 specimens
Pancreatic volume assessed using cylindrical segmentation method
Statistical analyses included Mann—Whitney, Kruskal—Wallis, Spearman's correlation, and linear regression
Inverse correlation between pancreatic volume and age (ρ=–0.629, p<0.001)
Dorsal pancreatic artery diameter varies by origin; largest when arising from the celiac trunk (4.10 mm)
100% visualization of dorsal pancreatic artery with strong correlation between diameter and presence of body branch (ρ=0.779, p<0.001)
