Quantitative assessment of the pancreas in subjects using DWI, IVIM, and 3D mDxion-quant: correlation with BMI, SAT, VAT and TAT

This study measured the quantitative imaging metrics of the pancreas and correlated ADC, sADC, D*，D, f, FF and R2* of pancreas with BMI, TAT, SAT and VAT. This study viewed that there was significant relationship between R2* and VAT, TAT (r=0.495, 0.533, respectively). And, ADC was related to SAT (r=0.460). These may illustrate the impact of different fat distribution on the function of pancreas.
