Pancreas transplants are an important treatment options for patients with severe diabetes mellitus and other medical conditions. Multiple imaging modalities, including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US) are available to evaluate the pancreas transplants and their vascular supply, with the graft having a characteristic appearance on each modality. Complications of the graft and its vascular supply present interesting challenges to the clinicians and radiologists caring for this patient population. Being able to identify the imaging appearance of normal and abnormal pancreas transplants is necessary to ensure these patients are provided optimal care.
