Methods Eighty-four subjects included 50 normal individuals and 34 patients(22 patients investigated for pancreatic neoplasia and 12 pancreatitis) were presented. The MR protocol included conventional SE T1WI, FSE T2WI, Pre-and post-contrast T1-weighted fat-suppressed and GRE imaging. Results The best diagnostic information was provided by T1-weighted fatsuppressed imaging before and after gadolinium enhancement on 27 of 34 cases with abnormal pan creas, followed by immediately postcontrast GRE images. Precontrast GRE imaging better showed the features of a cute pancreatitis. FSE T2WI obviously exhibited islet cell tumor and metastases of liver from pancreatic adenocarcino ma.
