This study assessed the correlation between pancreatic exocrine function estimated by cine dynamic MRCP with a spatially selective IR pulse and T1 mapping of the pancreatic parenchyma on 3T MR imaging. There was a statistically significant correlation between the secretion grade of the pancreatic juice in cine-dynamic MRCP and T1 relaxation time of the pancreatic parenchyma. Therefore, T1 mapping of the pancreatic parenchyma will be used as collaborative, noninvasive technique of cine-dynamic MRCP with a spatially selective IR pulse for the estimation of pancreatic exocrine function.
