This study evaluated the influence of oral ingestion in
secretory flow dynamics of physiological pancreatic
juice within the main pancreatic duct in 38 healthy
volunteers by using cine-dynamic MRCP and a spatially
selective IR pulse non-invasively. The median secretion
grade of pancreatic juice at 5-19 minutes after
ingestion was significantly higher than that before
ingestion. Secretion grade of pancreatic juice showed a
maximum peak at 19 minutes after ingestion, and then,
began to gradually decline, compared with that of
maximum peak value. This technique may have a potential
to evaluate physiological pancreatic exocrine function
in postprandial state.
