Abstract

[Technical advances of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including ultrahigh-field magnetic resonance at 3.0 T, parallel imaging techniques, and multichannel receive coils of the abdomen, are valuable tools in the assessment of the pancreatic disease. A standard MR protocol including non-contrast T1-weighted fat-suppressed and dynamic gadolinium-enhanced gradient-echo imaging is sensitive for the evaluation of pancreatic cancer. Optimal use of MRI in the investigation of pancreatic cancer occurs in the following circumstances: (1) detection of small non-contour deforming tumors, (2) evaluation of local extension and vascular encasement, (3) determination of the presence of lymph node and peritoneal metastases, and (4) determination and characterization of associated liver lesions and liver metastases.]
