Figure 4. Three-dimensional T1-weighted spoiled gradient-echo MR images (4/1.6, 12° flip angle) obtained in the arterial phase after gadolinium enhancement. Top: Transverse fat-saturated breath-hold image (1-mm section thickness) demonstrates the sharp edge definition of the normal pancreas (P). Note the excellent demonstration of the celiac axis (short arrow) and common hepatic artery (long arrow). Bottom: Curved multiplanar reconstruction provides a different perspective of the pancreas and clearly shows its relationship to the normal superior mesenteric artery (arrow).
