Core Tip

Core Tip: Up to the present time, a host of researchers have focused on the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) clinical manifestations. However, there are currently few investigations on the imaging features of acute pancreatitis (AP) in patients with T2DM. This paper demonstrates that the patients with T2DM have a higher prevalence of AP and more severe clinical manifestations, showing the magnetic resonance imaging findings of AP in T2DM.
