Figure 4 Pancreatic lipomatosis.
Axial in-phase (A) and out-of-phase (B) T1-weighted GRE images. There is a focal fat infiltration in the region of the pancreatic head (arrows), only noticeable in the out-of-phase images, which is diagnostic for this entity. Focal fat infiltration is a benign condition that can simulate pancreatic adenocarcinoma especially on CT. GRE: Gradient echo; CT: Computed tomography.
