  1. *3 patients with known intra-abdominal pathology had incidental intracranial findings. No patient with known intracranial pathology had an incidental intraabdominal finding. †3 cases of radiological pancreatitis were deemed met the Atlanta criteria. ‡16 cases of cholecystitis met the Tokyo criteria, all acalculous
