Perfusion imaging of the pancreas using an arterial spin labeling technique.
To investigate the feasibility of perfusion imaging of the pancreas using an arterial spin labeling (ASL) technique. ⋯ FAIR-TrueFISP permits analysis of pancreatic tissue perfusion with good image quality in a clinically applicable measuring time. Assessment of perfusion disorders may be useful in the diagnosis of inflammatory pancreatic pathologies, endocrine and exocrine pancreatic disorders, and in monitoring of pancreatic transplants.
