This study aimed to visualize the pancreas of rats with uncontrast MRI and validate the contour of pancreas by infusing gadolinium solution into the biliopancreatic duct for post-mortem imaging at 11.7 T MRI. Also, the reproducibility of metrics with diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) were evaluated in the pancreas of rats. We found that MRI at 11.7T could facilitate preclinical experiments in rodent pancreas and DKI appeared to be a useful noninvasive imaging tool to research pancreatic diseases with satisfactory reproducibility.
