Key Points

To evaluate and compare the relative diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in characterizing cystic pancreatic masses.
Comparative diagnostic review evaluating the technical performance and imaging features of CT versus MRI for pancreatic cystic lesion assessment.
Both CT and MRI provide complementary anatomical and structural details necessary for differentiating benign from potentially malignant pancreatic cysts.
Diagnostic accuracy varies based on specific lesion characteristics, internal septations, and ductal communication visualized across modalities.
