Synoptic CT scan reporting of pancreatic adenocarcinoma to align with international consensus guidelines on surgical resectability: a Victorian pilot.

PDAC lends itself to synoptic reporting given the specific anatomical considerations that classify resectability. This relies, however, on high-quality CT imaging and it was surprising that over 40% of scans reviewed were of suboptimal quality. Despite this, resectability status according to the International Consensus Guidelines was designated for 83% of scans. Optimal treatment algorithms for LA, BR and resectable disease vary widely underscoring the critical importance of accurately differentiating these anatomic subtypes of PDAC, and thus support further implementation of a synoptic report of this nature.
