Synopsis

Keywords: Pancreas, Quantitative Imaging, T1 value, T2 value, ADC valueThe pancreas plays an important role in nutrition and metabolism of the whole body. Changes of pancreatic morphology and function are related to many diseases. Multiparametric MR provides quantitative information about pancreatic morphology and function. In this work, we measured the normal range of T1, T2, and ADC values for different gender and age groups, and found significant differences between age groups. Gender difference was only found in T2. There are negative correlations between T2/ADC and age, and positive correlation between T1 and age.
