Pancreatic cancer remains one the most deadly cancers. New therapeutic agents cause confusion as prior morphological criteria to determine the presence of a response appear to be unreliable. MR Elastography (MRE) is uniquely able to determine tissue stiffness, a property potentially useful for therapy response monitoring. Here we present our first preliminary results of combining MRE with IVIM and DCE MRI.
