Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is important for evaluating pancreatic disorders, and anatomical landmarks play a major role in the interpretation of results. Quantitative MRI is an effective diagnostic modality for various pathologic conditions, as it allows the investigation of various physical parameters. Recent advancements in quantitative MRI techniques have significantly improved the accuracy of pancreatic MRI. Consequently, this method has become an essential tool for the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of pancreatic diseases. This comprehensive review article presents the currently available evidence on the clinical utility of quantitative MRI of the pancreas.
