Figure 1. Axial photon-counting CT images at (A) 0.4-mm, (C) 2-mm, and (D) 4-mm section thickness demonstrate an incidental hypoattenuating pancreatic lesion (arrowhead). The lesion communicates with the main pancreatic duct via a connection (arrow) visible at 0.4-mm section thickness. (B) Iodine overlay image at 0.4-mm section thickness displays iodine content in orange, demonstrating no uptake within the hypoattenuating lesion or main duct communication.

Figure 3. Axial T2-weighted image at 5-mm section thickness from MR cholangiopancreatography confirms the cystic nature of the lesion (arrow) but does not show the connection to the main pancreatic duct.
