[Abstract] Necrotizing pancreatitis is a critically pathological type of acute pancreatitis (AP). Initially, the pancreatic necrosis is solid or semi-solid state. And then, the necrotic lesion would gradually become soften, thereafter followed by liquefied necrosis. Classically, the CT severity index or MRI severity index can be usually regarded as a favorite imaging marker for predicting the prognosis of AP. In fact, like the clinical significance of necrotic areas, the depth of pancreatic necrosis also influences the outcome of patients. Indeed, dynamic processes of necrotizing pancreatitis can be tracked clearly on CT or MRI. This article mainly introduces the values of imaging on the AP dynamic followings. And a novel academic opinion is given as "Transmural pancreatic necrosis-Pancreatic duct disruption-Walled-off necrosis" trilogy.
