Hello and welcome to HCM,
The CT report of abdomen is incomplete, however, the significant findings are presence of fullnes in the head of pancreas.
Fullness of head of pancreas can occur due to inflammation or pancreatitis.
The veins present near to the head of pancreas - superior mesenteric vein is patent and is within normal limits.
Thanks and take care
