Figure 3 Multimodal imaging techniques utilised for a patient with 2. 8 cm head of pancreas cancer (blue arrow) with portal vein and superior mesenteric vein invasion. A: Hypodense mass on coronal view on CT; B: T1-weighted coronal view on MRI; C: T1-weighted axial view on MRI; D: MRCP view with dilated CBD and PD (double duct sign); E: Axial view on PET CT imaging showing marked FDG avidity. CT: Computed tomography; MDCT: Multi-detector computed tomography; MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging; PET: Positron emission tomography; MRCP: Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography; FDG: Fluorodeoxyglucose.
