Differentiation between autoimmune pancreatitis and pancreatic carcinoma by using diffusion eighted MR imaging

摘要：

Synopsis The aim of this study is to investigate the role of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in the differentiation between autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and pancreatic carcinoma (PCA). Conventional MR imaging, dynamic MR imaging and DWI were performed in 11 patients with AIP and 17 patients with PCA. The imaging features were reviewed and ADC value was measured in all cases. Our results indicate that most PCA lesions showed hyperintense on DWI, while all AIP lesions showed isointense or mildly hypointense on DWI. The mean ADC value of AIP lesions was significantly higher than that of PCA lesions.
