Comparison of ADC values of pancreas between patients with fulminant type 1 diabetes patients and non-diabetic control subjects. ADC values were measured in each part of the head (a), body (b), and tail (c) of the pancreas. The mean ADC values of three parts were calculated (d). Fulminant type 1 diabetic patients using the same MRI systems as control subjects were indicated by opened circles (Magnetom Avanto 1.5 T from Siemens Medical Solutions). The three vendors include Siemens Medical Solutions, GE Healthcare, and Philips Healthcare. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Two atypical cases of fulminant type 1 diabetes (with type 2 diabetes, without elevation of exocrine pancreatic enzymes, respectively) were indicated by opened triangles. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01
