Description

Highlights: • Pancreatic fibrosis grade was lower in patients with non-pancreatic cancer (PC). • Signal intensity ratio on 3D-FFE T1-weighted image was associated with pancreatic fibrosis grade. • The frequency of postoperative pancreatic fistula was significantly higher in patients with non-PC. -- Abstract: To evaluate the potential value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for predicting postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) in patients with pancreatic cancer (PC) and non-pancreatic cancer (non-PC).
