Motivation: Pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a frequent complication following distal pancreatectomy (DP). This study aims to determine the value of magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) in predicting POPF after DP.
Goal(s): To assess the feasibility of using MTI to quantify pancreatic fibrosis preoperatively and predict the risk of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) after DP.
Approach: We retrospectively analyzed magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) at the surgical margin in 65 patients, comparing the MTR among non-fistula, biochemical fistula, and CR-POPF groups.
Results: MTR were significantly lower in the CR-POPF group compared to other groups. MTI demonstrates promise as a non-invasive tool for predicting CR-POPF.
Impact: Magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) provides a non-invasive method for predicting clinically relevant pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy, aiding in the identification of high-risk patients and enabling early intervention strategies to improve postoperative outcomes.
