چکیده

We read with interest the article ‘Pancreatic Mucinous Cystic Neoplasm Size Using CT Volumetry, Spherical and ellipsoid formulas: Validation Study’ by Chalian et al. [1] published in the January 2014 edition of Journal of the Pancreas .JOP (online). We commend the authors for their valuable contributions towards establishing the accuracy and reproducibility of CT volumetry for pancreatic cysts. The article is excellent and informative. However, it would be of enormous help if the authors could clarify the queries we had while reading the manuscript.
