Abstract:
Objective To study the accuracy,clinical value and limit in assessing the vessels surrounding pancreas involved by pancneutic carcinoma with low field MRI.Methods MRI scanning was performed in 55 patients with pancreatic carcinoma.We prospectively evaluated the MRI findings of vascular involvement by pancreatic carcinoma,and compared with the surgical results.Results Of total 55 cases,50(91%)cases were correctly diagnosed on MRI .MRI carries an accuracy of 86% for prediction of resectility,and accuracy of 93% for unresectility.Conclusion Low field MRI can accurately assess the peripancreative vessels ,but it has limited value in the patients with pancreatic carinomaⅠa orⅠb.
