Abstract: Pancreatic endocrine tumors (PETs) are very rare and are divided into functional and nonfunctional tumors.Their clinical manifestations vary,and imaging diagnosis easily led to missing diagnosis and misdiagnosis for PETs.With the development of MRI technology,especially application of fat suppression techniques,diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DEMRI) are of great value on imaging diagnosis and differential diagnosis for PETs.The clinical data of 13 patients with PETs who were admitted to the Central Hospital of Enshi Autonomous Prefecture from June 2007 to December 2011 were retrospectively analyzed,and their MRI imaging features were studied.The diagnostic values of MRI,especially DWI and DEMRI for PETs were investigated.
