In a 68-year-old male with CP, oblique-coronal contrast-enhanced MDCT image (a) showed two tiny calcifications (thin arrows) at the cephalic tract of the MPD, a finding confirmed during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP, b—MPD indicated by arrow) and treated by positioning of a long pancreatic stent (thick arrow in c). Repeated MDCT (d–f) showed the distal end of the MPD stent (thick arrows) to be located outside the pancreatic gland. Note that excellent depiction of stent (thick arrows) and burden of calcifications (thin arrows) by MIP reconstructions (e, f). Despite clinical improvement, the stent had to be removed
