Popis: BACKGROUND/AIMS: Pancreatic steatosis (PS) is a subject of current interest, and its prevalence has been reported to range from 16.1% to 30.7% using various radiological methods. This study aimed to evaluate PS prevalence using non-contrast computed tomography (CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The non-contrast CT scans taken in 2016 and 2017 in our hospital were retrospectively screened. A total of 637 patients (320 men and 317 women) were included in the study.
