Notable CT and MRI findings for early diagnosis of pancreas cancer

Abstract

To improve the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer, early detection is essential and imaging examinations play an important role. Recognizing imaging features which suggest the early or small pancreatic cancer (early signs) including focal parenchymal atrophy, faint enhancement in venous/equilibrium phase image, slight stenosis of main pancreatic duct and small cysts is key step to detect small pancreas cancer.
