Synopsis

Keywords: High-Field MRI, Pancreas

Despite the growing clinical acceptability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation, continued efforts are required to increase the resolution and robustness of pancreatic imaging. The feasibility of pancreatic MRI at 5T was studied in this study, which used a brand-new 5T MR scanner. 5T pancreatic MRI exhibited greater signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and sufficient image quality as compared to the 3T examination. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) at 5T was sufficient for measuring the longitudinal pancreatic apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). As a result, pancreatic MRI at 5T may be effective for diagnosing and managing pancreatic diseases.
