Synopsis

MRI is used as a problem-solving tool when contrast-enhanced CT is not available for assessing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic performance of vascular involvement and resectability on MRI and compared them with pancreatic protocol CT. Our results showed that no statistical difference in terms of the detection of vascular involvement and the resectability classification based on the NCCN guideline between CT and MRI.
