This study focused on the feasibility of quantitative MR evaluation of the pancreas parenchyma in patients with IPMN as a non-invasive tool for predicting the risk of malignancy. Our study showed that increased signal intensity on T2WI and longer T1 relaxation time were associated with a higher risk of malignant IPMN. These results suggested that quantitative MR evaluation of the underlying pancreas parenchyma in patients with IPMN can be a surrogate marker for predicting malignant IPMN.
