The purpose of this study was to develop and optimize a rapid MR pancreas screening protocol to be performed in conjunction with breast MRI screening in BRCA-positive individuals. 15 patients underwent a rapid pancreatic screening at the conclusion of their breast MRI examination. Images were acquired with the patient in the prone position, with the breast coil still in place, but using the built-in body coil on a 3T magnet, and evaluated for image quality (including SNR and CNR), and detection of pancreatic lesions. Rapid MR protocol for pancreatic cancer screening is feasible and provides diagnostic quality images.
