Role of magnetic resonance imaging in the detection and characterization of solid pancreatic nodules: An update

Figure 10 Solitary pancreatic metastasis. Axial T2-weighted SS-ETSE (A) and post-gadolinium fat-suppressed T1-weighted GRE images acquired in the arterial (B), venous (C) and interstitial (D) phases of enhancement. There is a nodular lesion in the pancreatic body showing moderate signal intensity on T2-weighted images (arrow, A) and showing hypovascular characteristics, with no pancreatic duct dilatation. These are typical features of a solitary pancreatic metastasis (arrows). Note additional splenic metastases (lung cancer). SS-ETSE: Single-shot echo train spin echo; GRE: Gradient echo.
