Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to investigate the encapsulation of fluid collections in patients with ANP using serial MRI. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Evaluating the timing of encapsulation of necrotic fluid collection using serial non-enhanced MRI.
- Identifying the factors that affect the timing of encapsulation of necrotic fluid collections Participants will undergo serial MRI scans (all with the same protocol) performed starting at day 15. Subsequent scans will be performed at 5 days interval till the clinically significant encapsulation (for all the collections in an individual patient) is seen or patients are excluded from the protocol due to intervention.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Timing of Encapsulation
MRI scans will be performed
1-2 months after initial MRI
Study Arms (1)
Acute Pancreatitis
Patients with acute pancreatitis will undergo serial MRI
Interventions
Serial MRI scans will be performed starting at day 15 from date of pain. Subsequent scans will be performed at 5 days interval till the clinically significant encapsulation (for all the collections in an individual patient) is seen.
Eligibility Criteria
Consecutive patients with ANP presenting to the hospital within 2 weeks from the pain onset will be recruited. They will undergo serial non-contrast MRI starting at day 15 and every 5 days thereafter, till complete encapsulation of PFC. Ultrasound evaluation of the collection will be performed on the day of MRI by a radiologist not involved in evaluation of MRI.
You may qualify if:
- Acute necrotizing pancreatitis
- Presentation to hospital within 2 weeks of pain onset
- \. Willing to give informed consent
You may not qualify if:
- Contraindications to non- enhanced MRI (Claustrophobia, cardiac pacemaker, cochlear implant).
- Acute on chronic pancreatitis
- Mechanical ventilation, ionotropic support (precluding safe environment in MRI).
- Drainage or aspiration of a collection prior to recruitment
