Implication

Randomized trial shows intrapancreatic fat influences T1 relaxation times in individuals, suggesting a need for its consideration in MRI assessments.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore the relationship between intrapancreatic fat deposition and T1 relaxation times in the pancreas.
  • Quantified pancreatic T1 relaxation times using B1-corrected dual flip-angle 3D-VIBE imaging at 3.0 Tesla.
  • Measured intrapancreatic fat deposition with a high-speed, T2-corrected multi-echo sequence.
  • Constructed linear regression models to assess the relationship between IPFD and T1 values, adjusting for covariates.
  • IPFD accounted for 4.6% of the variance in total pancreatic T1 values, with regional differences observed: head 1.0%, body 3.0%, tail 7.7%.
  • In the adjusted model, IPFD significantly linked to total pancreatic T1 values (p = 0.001).
  • Significant associations were found across all regions: head (p = 0.03), body (p = 0.004), and tail (p = 0.002).
