Résumé
To determine the optimal b-value for accurate depiction of pancreatic cancer (PC) in patients with active tumor-associated pancreatitis (TAP), using computed diffusion-weighted imaging (cDWI) with a range of b-values up to 3000 s/mm The study protocol was approved by the institutional review board. We retrospectively analyzed 34 consecutive PC cases with active TAP who underwent pancreatectomy without preoperative therapy. Four cDWI datasets with b-values of 1500-3000 s/mm As the b-value increased, tumor conspicuity improved significantly in cDWI Accurate depiction of PC was optimal with cDWI
