Management and Outcome of 64 Patients with Pancreatic Serous Cystic Neoplasms.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET-CT) is established in the staging of esophageal cancer. In this study, an MRI protocol was designed to emulate the anatomical (T1-weighed (T1W) and T2W imaging) and functional information (diffusion-weighted imaging) provided by PET-CT. METHODS:In al...
