In recent years continuous advancements in software and hardware technology of modern MRI systems have contributed to substantial progress in the field of pancreatic tumor imaging. Despite technical advances in abdominal MRI, multislice CT still remains the preferential diagnostic tool for pancreatic lesions. In the majority of cases the essential clinical questions can thereby be answered with a high degree of accuracy. However, in dilemma cases state-of-the-art MR imaging can provide relevant information for the diagnosis allowing an optimal therapeutic concept. This report gives an overview on possible applications for MRI in the diagnostic evaluation of malignant pancreatic tumors.
