The source, targeting and delivery of mutant Kras contribute to altered phenotypes of pancreatic cancer progression in mouse models of the disease. We have used multiparametric MR imaging including microscopy, diffusion imaging and T2 mapping, to capture differences in the MR characteristics of EL-Kras and p48-Cre/LSL-Kras mouse models of pancreatic cancer.
