Abstract: 

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is one of deadliest cancers worldwide1. Non-invasive (semi)-quantitative MRI methods such as diffusion weighted imaging (DW!) or T1 and T2 mapping are important diagnostic tools for characterization of tissue composition and require no exögenous contrast agent application2,3.
This work aims to investigate the’ use ofthe ADC, Tl and T2 values in a preclinical trial of endogenous murine PDAC treated with the standard therapy protocol Gemcitabine(GEM)/Abraxane.
