The presence of pancreatic fibrosis is a representative feature of the pancreas in patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). The extracellular volume fraction (ECV) is reported to be associated with cardiac and hepatic fibrosis. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of the ECV of the pancreas based on T1 mapping for the assessment of HbA1c values. Our results showed that increased ECV of the pancreas was significantly correlated with HbA1c values, so the ECV of the pancreas could serve as a potential imaging biomarker for the assessment of patients with IGT.
