Secretin-stimulated MRI assessment of exocrine pancreatic function in patients with cystic fibrosis and healthy controls

Secretin-stimulated magnetic resonance imaging (s-MRI) and pancreatic diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) are novel non-invasive imaging techniques for assessment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). The aim was to validate s-MRI assessed pancreatic secreted volume using novel semi-automatic quantification software, and to assess the ability of s-MRI with DWI to diagnose EPI in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). s-MRI and DWI was performed...
