Abstract

BACKGROUND: Fatty pancreas is associated with inflammatory and neoplastic pancreatic diseases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the diagnostic modality of choice for measuring pancreatic fat. Measurements typically use regions of interest limited by sampling and variability. We have previously described an artificial intelligence (AI)-aided approach for whole pancreas fat estimation on computed tomography (CT). In this study, we aimed to assess the correlation between whole pancreas MRI proton-density fat fraction (MR-PDFF) and CT attenuation.
