Synopsis

Keywords: Pancreas, PancreasWe sought to clarify the value of quantitative MRI for evaluating pancreatic fibrosis. Longer T1 relaxation time and lower D within the pancreas parenchyma were significantly related to pancreatic fibrosis score based on histopathological evaluation. T1 relaxation time and D may be sensitive indicators of fibrosis within the pancreas parenchyma.
