Early radiological assessment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer treated with electrochemotherapy

Figure 1 Magnetic resonance imaging assessment using morphological criteria for two patients (in A man 79 years old and in B man 74 years old). Before treatment in HASTE T2-W sequence (a), the lesion (arrow) appears hyperintense, in in-phase T1-W sequence (b) and out-phase T1-W sequence (c) appears hypointense and hypovascular in VIBE T1-W in equilibrium phase (d). After the treatment the lesion in HASTE T2-W sequence (e), in-phase T1-W sequence (f), out-phase T1-W sequence (g) and VIBE T1-W in equilibrium phase (h): there were not significant differences in signal compared to the similar before the treatment. HASTE: Half-Fourier Acquisition Single-Shot Turbo Spin-Echo; VIBE: Volumetric Interpolated Breath-hold Examination.
