Breath-hold DCE-MRI/DWI was applied for 16 patients with
treatment-nave pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The
physiological parameters such as Ktrans, kep and ADC
values in pancreatic tumors, non-tumor adjacent
pancreatic parenchyma (NAP), liver metastases, and
normal liver tissues were quantitated. Ktrans, kep and
ADC values of pancreatic tumors were significantly lower
than those of non-tumor adjacent pancreatic parenchyma.
Thus, the perfusion and diffusion parameters may be
utilized as diagnostic markers for pancreatic cancer
detection.
