Abstract

Objective: To determine the average size and density of the pancreatic parenchyma in Vietnamese adults and to compare the pancreatic parenchymal density between healthy individuals and those with diabetes. Materials and Methods: Subjects and research methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 583 subjects aged between 19 and 88 years, including 502 healthy individuals and 81 patients with diabetes. These subjects underwent contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scans using a 128-slice MSCT machine at Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, where measurements of pancreatic size and parenchymal density were performed. Results: The anterior-posterior, transverse, and diagonal dimensions of the pancreatic head was found to be respectively 28.5 ± 5 mm, 19.5 ± 3.6 mm, and 22.2 ± 3.7 mm. The anteroposterior diameter of the body (16.5 ± 4.9 mm) and tail (17,9 ± 3,5 mm) of the pancreas was also estimated.The average pancreatic parenchymal density in healthy individuals was 48.45 (±5.17) HU, while in individuals with diabetes, it was 44.94 HU. The average pancreatic parenchymal density in healthy individuals was 48.45 ±5.17 HU, while in individuals with diabetes, it was 44,94 ± 5,45HU. There was a statistically significant difference in pancreatic size between males and females (P < 0.005). The pancreatic parenchymal density in healthy individuals was higher than in those with diabetes, and this difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Data on pancreatic size and parenchymal density in healthy individuals, as well as pancreatic parenchymal density in diabetic patients, support the detection of pancreatic abnormalities. This helps clinicians make earlier and more accurate diagnoses of diabetes and pancreatic diseases.
