Computed tomography (CT) is highly accurate, non-invasive imaging modality of choice in evaluating the pancreas. To assess the role of spiral CT in evaluation of pancreatic lesions. To compare imaging findings with some socio-demographic variables. This Cross-sectional Study was carried out Department of Radiology in Tertiary Care Hospital in Western Maharashtra, India. Convenient sample of 50 study subjects who had fulfilled the inclusion criteria. At first patient suggestive of pancreatic mass were evaluated by detailed clinical history and clinical examination. Subsequently CT scan was done in all clinically suspected patients of pancreatic lesion. CT scans were reviewed to detect pancreatic lesion as well as to characterise them into either diseases or masses by looking radiological signs. Statistical Analysis for descriptive statistics mean, standard deviation, percentages and proportion were used. Chi square test and Fischer’s exact probability test were used as a test of significance. Total 50 study subjects participated in the study. Pancreatic disorders were more common in males than in females. In the present study 35 (70%) were males and 15 (30%) were females. The commonest age group affected was between 20-40 years. The commonest pancreatic pathology in this study was acute pancreatitis followed by chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic carcinoma respectively. Computed Tomography is efficacious in detection and characterizing pancreatic pathologies. Pancreatic disorders were common in males than in females commonest age group affected was between 20-40 years. The commonest pancreatic pathology was acute pancreatitis
