Figure 4. — PDAC located in the head of the pancreas (white arrow). The pancreatic body and tail exhibit atrophy and the pancreatic duct presents with dilation. (A) Axial T₂W MRI with fat suppression displays PDAC with heterogeneous moderate hyperintensity and an obscure boundary. (B) Axial LAVA Flex water phase image demonstrates PDAC with heterogeneous moderate hypointensity and an obscure boundary. (C) Axial arterial phase image demonstrates PDAC with mild heterogeneous enhancement. (D) Axial DWI with b-value of 200s/mm² demonstrates PDAC with heterogeneous hyperintensity and a clear boundary. (E) Axial DWI with a b-value of 1,500 s/mm² demonstrates PDAC with heterogeneous hyperintensity and a clear boundary. (F) Axial DWI with a b-value of 2,000 s/mm² demonstrates PDAC with heterogeneous hyperintensity and a clear boundary. DWI, diffusion weighted imaging; PDAC, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; LAVA, liver acquisition with volume acceleration; T₂W, fast spin echo transverse relaxation time-weighted.
