There was no related study focused on pancreatic cancer, and we have no idea whether T1 mapping and ECV fraction could be used in such patients. Our study was to evaluate whether the T1 relaxation time of the pancreas can detect parenchymal changes in pancreatic cancer (PC) patients and whether extracellular volume (ECV) fraction improves the diagnostic value. We found that native T1 relaxation time of the pancreas in patients with PCs was significantly higher than patients with Non-PCs and volunteers, respectively. The pancreatic ECV was failed to show a significant difference among three groups.
