DWI of the pancreas is challenging due to artifacts from physiologic motion, image distortion, and blurring, but has promising applications in pancreatic cancer detection. We conducted a pilot study of pancreatic DWI comparing single-shot and multi-shot EPI protocols as well as multi-shot EPI protocols with and without a new commercially available deep learning (DL) based denoising reconstruction method. Image quality was subjectively scored with key metrics. Multi-shot EPI reduced perceived distortion within the pancreatic bed, while the combination of multi-shot EPI and DL reconstruction subjectively reduced noise.
