Multiparametric MRI Scoring System of the Pancreas for the Diagnosis of Chronic Pancreatitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ductal features alone may not offer high diagnostic sensitivity or most accurate disease severity of chronic pancreatitis (CP).

Purpose

Diagnose CP based on multiparametric MRI and MRCP features.

Study type

Prospective.

Population

Between February 2019 and May 2021, 46 control (23 males, 49.3 ± 14.1 years), 45 suspected (20 males, 48.7 ± 12.5 years), and 46 definite (20 males, 53.7 ± 14.6 years) CP patients were enrolled at seven hospitals enrolled in the MINIMAP study. CP classification was based on imaging findings and clinical presentation.

Field strength and sequences

1.5 T. T₁-weighted (T₁W) spoiled gradient echo, T1 map with variable flip angle, dual-echo Dixon, secretin-enhanced MRCP before and after secretin infus
