Dynamic non-invasive ASL perfusion imaging of a normal pancreas with secretin augmented MR imaging.

Objectives: To investigate prospectively the repeatability of pancreatic perfusion measurements using arterial spin labelling (ASL) and to determine the increase in perfusion due to secretin stimulation.

Material And Methods: An (FAIR)-TrueFISP ASL sequence was applied to determine the perfusion of the pancreatic head in a 3T MRI scanner. Ten healthy volunteers (four men, six women: mean age 28.

Diagnostic Value and Interreader Agreement of the Pancreaticolienal Gap in Pancreatic Cancer on MDCT.

Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the diagnostic value and measure interreader agreement of the pancreaticolienal gap (PLG) in the assessment of imaging features of pancreatic carcinoma (PC) on contrast-enhanced multi-detector computed tomography (CE-MDCT).

Materials And Methods: CE-MDCT studies in the portal venous phase were retrospectively reviewed for 66 patients with PC. The age- and gender-matched control group comprised 103 healthy individuals.
