Multiparametric MR microimaging deteced differences in pancreatic microstructure between two mouse models of pancreatic cancer, EL-KRASG12D (EK) and p48-Cre/LSL-Kras (KC) mice, that overexpress mutant KRas via different mechanisms. MR signatures characteristic of acinar-ductal metaplasia, fibrosis, cystic neoplasms and precancerous lesions revealed different trajectories of disease development between the two genetically engineered mice.
