Suspected early or mild chronic pancreatitis: Enhancement patterns on gadolinium chelate dynamic MRI

Abstract: Purpose: To assess whether measuring the pattern of pancreatic enhancement on gadolinium chelate dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is helpful for diagnosis of suspected early or mild chronic pancreatitis. Materials and Methods:In this retrospective study, 24 patients with suspected early or mild chronic pancreatitis, classified by imaging criteria of equivocal chronic pancreatitis (ultrasound, computed tomography [CT] or ERCP) grading, had dynamic MRI that included unenhanced, arterial dominant, early … Show more

“…The TTP on DCE MRI increased gradually with the severity of CP (r ¼ 0.54). Our results confirmed previous clinical research (7,8,15), which indicates a possible connection between decreased pancreatic microvascular perfusion and the severity of CP.…”

“…Our results indicate that there was a significant difference of pancreatic microvascular blood flow in advanced CP from normal pancreas or minimal CP but no significant difference between normal pancreas and minimal CP. This confirmed further previous clinical research (7,8).…”
