Pancreatic protocol MRI parameters

T2-weighted images (Fast-spin-echo (FSE), turbo-spin-echo (TSE) or a variant: axial, without fat suppression
T2-weighted images with fat suppression: axial, without fat suppression
Axial T1-weighted, 3-D, 2-point Dixon gradient echo sequence
Post-contrast T1 weighted images: T1-weighted 3-D gradient-echo with fat suppression in pre-contrast, arterial, portal venous and 5-minute delayed phases
MRCP examination:
• 2D MRCP (thick slab), 40 mm thick, 8 paracoronal projections.
• 3D MRCP (thin slab): 2–3 mm, respiratory synchronized 3-D TSE sequence.
• Secretin-stimulated 2D (thick slab) MRCP: coronal single shot FSE sequence or a variant, repeated every 30 seconds for 10 minutes after intravenous infusion of Secretin.
