Figure 29.   Chronic pancreatitis with a pancreatic duct rupture and a pseudocyst with necrotic debris in the tail of the pancreas demonstrated with MRCP (A) and corresponding axial (B) and coronal (C, D) HASTE T2-weighted sequences. The pseudocyst "wall", the necrotic debris, and the relationship with the wall of the stomach (*) are better visualized in B, C, and D (black arrows). The morphologic changes in the pancreatic duct (arrowheads) and a small fistula tract (white arrow) are better depicted in A.
