New techniques have transformed magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the pancreas from an imaging examination that had been inferior to computed tomography (CT) in diagnostic capability, to one that today may well be superior for many applications. These technologic advances include chemical-shift imaging, fast spin-echo T2-weighted imaging and its modifications, such as MR cholangiopancreatography, and dynamic gadolinium-enhanced imaging. Taken together, these techniques can detect diseases that may be difficult to appreciate on CT, such as small pancreatic adenocarcinomas, islet cell tumors, and ductal abnormalities and calculi. Newer intravenous contrast agents such as Mangafodipir, as well as oral contrast agents, have not been widely used but show promise for future improved pancreatic MR imaging.
新技术已将胰腺磁共振（MR）成像从一种诊断能力不如计算机断层扫描（CT）的成像检查，转变为如今在许多应用中可能更具优势的检查。这些技术进步包括化学位移成像、快速自旋回波T2加权成像及其改进技术，如磁共振胰胆管造影，以及动态钆增强成像。综合起来，这些技术能够检测出CT上可能难以发现的疾病，如小胰腺癌、胰岛细胞瘤、导管异常和结石。新型静脉造影剂如锰福地匹三钠以及口服造影剂尚未得到广泛应用，但有望在未来改善胰腺MR成像。
