Retrospective study included 46 patients without pancreatic disorders including pancreatic tumor and acute pancreatitis who underwent 3T abdominal multi-parametric MRI including cine-dynamic with spatially selective inversion recovery pulse and proton density fat fraction in 3D mDIXON quant (PDFF (%)). Pancreatic exocrine function was assessed as secretion grade (SG) based on the travel distance of inflowing pancreatic juice in the main pancreatic duct on cine-dynamic MRCP. The negative correlation between PDFF of the pancreas and SG estimated by cine-dynamic MRCP with spatially selective IR pulse suggests an association between pancreatic steatosis and impaired pancreatic exocrine function.
