• Research summary

  We want to assess whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen can characterise lymph node status, peritoneal and liver metastasis in pancreatic cancer. This will be a proof-of-principle diagnostic accuracy study to evaluate whether multi parametric MRI (in addition to CT) can improve the selection of patients for pancreatic cancer surgery.
