Data are expressed as numbers (mean ± standard deviation) compared between different parts of the pancreas. The P value was calculated with the F test. Group A underwent continuous perfusion scanning; group B underwent intermittent perfusion scanning. *, a P value <0.05. BF, blood flow; BV, blood volume; PS, permeability surface; MTT, mean transit time; TTP, time to peak; Tmax, arrival pulse residual function peak transit time; IRF T0, the delay time of arrival of contrast agent; MSI, mean slope of increase; PEI, positive enhanced integral.
