The purpose of this paper is to explore a most helpful DWI mathematical models in differenting pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine tumors. All parameters of three models(monoexponential, biexponential, and stretched exponential) were obtained from a histogram analysis based on the entire tumor. By comparing diagnostic performance, the significant parameters that have the highest diagnostic performance were selected to the most helpful parameters. The results of this study showed that IVIM-DWI model may be the most suitable for differenting pancreatic tumors.
