- FIGURE 32.4-8. Contrast-enhanced helical CT scan demonstrating a
- resectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head. Note that the
- low-density tumor (small arrow) is inseparable from the lateral wall
- of the superior mesenteric vein (large arrow). Successful
- pancreaticoduodenectomy would require a segmental resection of the
- superior mesenteric vein. Note the normal fat plane between the tumor
- and the superior mesenteric artery (open arrow).
