Abstract

Abstract: Nonalcoholic fatty pancreatic disease(NAFPD)refers to fat deposition in pancreatic cells or fat replacement in pancreatic parenchymal exocrine glands with multiple factors, which is often closely associated with metabolic diseases. High lipid status in the pancreas may affect the function of islet β cells, lead to abnormal secretion of insulin or dysregulation of blood glucose level, and the occurrence of type 2 diabetes mellitus might be related to NAFPD. Imaging examinations can screen and quantify the content of pancreatic fat. This paper reviews the quantitative application of ultrasound, CT and MRI(IDEAL-IQI)in the quantitative application of pancreatic fat in type 2 diabetes mellitus and related clinical studies on NAFPD.The use of imaging for screening and quantification of NAFPD may provide new and relevant evidence for the diagnosis of subclinical diabetes.

Key words: nonalcoholic fatty pancreas disease, diabetes mellitus, ultrasound, tomography, magnetic resonance imaging
