Core Tip
Core Tip: Luo et al's study highlights the potential of imaging-pathology correlations in pancreatic cancer diagnosis. However, integrating advanced imaging techniques like magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and positron emission tomography/computed tomography could significantly enhance diagnostic precision and provide valuable metabolic and anatomical insights. The inclusion of radiomics-based analyses offers an opportunity to extract quantitative imaging features, improving risk stratification and prognostication. Adopting longitudinal study designs could further elucidate the evolution of imaging features over time, aiding early detection and therapy planning. These enhancements align with trends in precision medicine, paving the way for more comprehensive and clinically impactful research in pancreatic cancer imaging.
