Fig. 7

A 64-year-old man with PDAC of the head. Coronal T2-weighted MR image (a) shows a large low-intermdiate signal intensity pancreatic head mass (asterisk) causing upstream CBD dilatation (long arrow). Axial contrast-enhanced T1-weighted image in the portal venous phase (b) shows a hypoenhancing pancreatic head mass abutting SMV. Coronal (c) and axial (d) portal venous phase CT images obtained 2 months later after neoadjuvant therapy show a significant reduction of the tumor bulk (short arrows). The patient subsequently underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, and pathology revealed extensive neoadjuvant treatment effect on PDAC with only 1 cm residual tumor and negative resection margin. No recurrence has been reported for 3 years
