Diagnosis and Staging of Pancreatic Cancer: Comparison of Mangafodipir Trisodium—Enhanced MR Imaging and Contrast-Enhanced Helical Hydro-CT

Abstract

Mangafodipir trisodium-enhanced MR imaging is as accurate as contrast-enhanced helical CT for the detection and staging of pancreatic cancer but offers improved detection of small pancreatic metastases and of liver metastases compared with CT.
