Ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head: A focus on current diagnostic and surgical concepts

Figure 3 Magnetic resonance imaging appearance. A: T1 sequence showing an adenocarcinoma of the pancreas with a hypo-intense signal (arrow), whereas normal pancreatic tissue appears hyper-intense; B: T1 sequence with fat saturation injection: after injection of gadolinium, the pancreatic adenocarcinoma is hypo-enhanced (arrow) compared to the healthy parenchyma; C: A sequence of diffusion: hyper-intensity (arrow) signal due to the hyper-cellularity of the tumor; D: Sequence 3D-magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography: stenosis of the main pancreatic duct (arrow) with upstream dilatation due to a tumor of the pancreatic isthmus.
