On diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), the variables
except for apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value
have not been analyzed to differentiate autoimmune
pancreatitis (AIP) from pancreatic cancer (PC). We aimed
to analyze which variable was useful to differentiate
AIP from PC on DWI. In 42 AIP patients and 50 PC
patients who underwent 3-T MRI including DWI, variables
such as ADC value, ADC ratio (ADC
lesion
/ADC
spleen
),
signal intensity (SI), SI ratio (SI
lesion
/SI
spleen
)
were compared between AIP and PC. Among 4 variables, the
ADC value was most useful for differentiation because
its area under the curve was highest in the ROC
analysis.
