Abstract:
Chronic pancreatitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pancreas,whichcan lead to irreversible damage to the morphology and function of the pancreas ultimately.So the early diagnosis and treatment for chronic pancreatitis are very important.And the differentiation between mass-forming chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer is also a difficult problem in clinic.MRI as a noninvasive and nonradiative examination with excellent soft tissue resolution,is very valuable for the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis.And the combination of functional MRI and conventional MRI is very helpful for the differentiation between pancreatic carcinoma and mass-forming chronic pancreatitis,which is of great significance to the clinical management.The application and progresses of function MRI in the diagnosis and identification of chronic pancrea titis were reviewed in this article.
