Role Of Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Diffusion- Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging In evaluation of the pancreatic Lesions

Abstract

As a result, one of the leading causes of poor prognosis is that many lesions go untreated until they have progressed or are no longer surgically resectable. Despite data from various trials showing that screening individuals with a family history of pancreatic cancer is associated with more curative resections (P = 0.011) and enhanced median survival (p 0.001), pancreatic cancer screening programs for the general population are not currently recommended (Zhang et al., 2017). A cystic pancreatic lesion can be detected by abdominal ultrasound (US). However, this approach lacks acceptable spatial and soft-tissue resolutions, and picture quality suffers significantly in obese individuals. When compared to abdominal ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) can provide better images; nonetheless, EUS is an intrusive procedure.(Kalb et al., 2009).
