Overall intraobserver agreement for ADC- and IVIM-derived parameters was excellent.

Perfusion-related IVIM-derived parameters are the most reliable for differentiation between pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine neoplasms. No significant differences were found between ADC- and IVIM-derived parameters of mass-forming pancreatitis and carcinoma.
