Pancreatic carcinoma coexisting with chronic pancreatitis versus tumor-forming pancreatitis: Diagnostic utility of the time-signal intensity curve from dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging

Focal pancreatitis mimicking pancreatic mass: magnetic resonance imaging (mri)/magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (mrcp) findings including diffusion-weighted mri

“…This enhancement pattern may be indistinguishable from pancreatic carcinoma. The enhancement pattern of the remaining pancreas and the control group were similar to a previously published report (11). DWI has been used for the detection and characterization of abdominal pathology (13,14).…”

“…For this purpose, the enhancement formula (SI post (SI pre )/SI pre )100, where SI pre and SI post represent the pre-and postcontrast signal intensities, respectively, was used (11). TIC curves were created as mean values derived from the measurements in the head, body, and tail of the pancreas in the control group.…”

Assessment of Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Differentiation of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma From Other Pancreatic Solid Lesions

“…1,4,5 Besides, the high PeakT and low MxSIp were consistent with the computed tomographic characteristic of slow enhancement of PDA as well. 5,6 In our study, the PeakT of PDA was significantly higher than those of the non-PDA lesions; at the same time, the MxSIp and Kep were significantly lower than those of the non-PDA lesions. The ROC curves showed that the areas under the curve of differentiating the PDA from non-PDA lesions were 0.73, 0.72, 0.79, and 0.72.…”

Utility of preoperative dynamic magnetic resonance imaging of the pancreas in diagnosing tumor-forming pancreatitis that mimics pancreatic cancer: Report of a case

“…5 In addition, pancreatic TIC from dynamic MRI provides dependable information for differentiating pancreatic carcinoma from tumor-forming pancreatitis. 6 We report herein the usefulness of the pre-operative pancreatic TIC from dynamic MRI in the diagnosis of tumor-forming pancreatitis mimicking pancreatic carcinoma.…”

“…In the previous study, pancreatic carcinomas demonstrated type-III or type-IV TIC, and the type-IV TIC was only recognized in pancreatic carcinoma. 6 Meanwhile, tumor-forming pancreatitis showed type-II or type-III. The type-III TIC showed an overlap in the TIC profile between pancreatic carcinoma and tumor-forming pancreatitis.…”
