From: Dual-energy CT with virtual monoenergetic images to improve the visualization of pancreatic supplying arteries: the normal anatomy and variations

Fig. 5

The normal anatomy and variations in pancreatic supplying arteries. a MIP shows the dorsal pancreatic artery (DPA) originating from splenic artery (SPA), bifurcates into the right branch and the transverse pancreatic artery (TPA), which forms an inverted “T” pattern branching. b The DPA originates from the common hepatic artery (CHA), bifurcates into the TPA, and then anastomoses with caudal pancreatic artery (PCA). c Minimum intensity projection (MinIP) shows the DPA originating from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). d MIP shows the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (IPDA) originating from the first jejunal artery (JA) to form the pancreatico-duodeno-jejunal (PDJ) trunk
