Overview
On Abdominal MRI, pancreatic cancer appears as hypointense with slower enhancement than normal pancreas
MRI
Signal characteristics include:
- T1: hypo intense c.f. normal pancreas 5
- T1 FS: hypo intense c.f. normal pancreas 5
- T1 + C (Gd): slower enhancement than normal pancreas, therefore dynamic injection with arterial phase imaging with fat saturation is ideal
- T2/FLAIR: variable (therefore not very useful) depending on the amount of reactive desmoplastic reaction 1,5 [1]
