Özet

Background: Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive inflammatory disease of the pancreatic parenchyma and ductal structures. Typical MR imaging features of chronic pancreatitis include dilatation of the main pancreatic duct and irregularities of branch pancreatic ducts that can be evaluated with MRCP, loss of the normal high signal intensity of the pancreatic parenchyma on T1-weighted images, and decreased enhancement on dynamic contrast-enhanced sequences.
