Fig. 3

The upper (a–c) and lower (d–f) rows show the 40-keV MEI (+) and PEI images, respectively. a The axial image shows that the anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (ASPDA) runs along the anterior and lateral surface of the pancreatic head (arrow). b Coronal reformatted image shows the ASPDA originating from gastroduodenal artery (GDA), and anastomosing inferiorly with anterior inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (AIPDA) to form the standard anterior pancreaticoduodenal arcade. c Coronal reformatted image shows the posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (PSPDA) and the posterior inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (PIPDA). The visualization is better on the 40-keV MEI (+), compared to the PEI
