New ways to image pancreatic masses
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests two imaging methods, MRI and ultrasound elastography, to see how well they can look at pancreatic masses. It may help doctors better understand these growths without needing surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a mass in your pancreas that was found by your doctor.
- You are willing to take part in the study.
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation before surgery.
- You have not had a stent placed in your pancreas.
- You do not have a history of pancreatitis (acute or chronic).
- You can have an MRI safely (no pacemaker, no severe claustrophobia).

This study tests whether new MRI techniques can better show how pancreatic cancer responds to treatment. It compares standard CT scans with advanced MRI sequences for patients whose cancer has not spread.
This study tests two new ultrasound techniques to better tell apart pancreatic cancer from other solid growths in the pancreas. If you have a solid pancreas mass, the results could help doctors choose the most appropriate treatment without unnecessary surgery.
This study uses MRI scans to screen for pancreas cancer in people at high risk due to family history or certain gene mutations. It aims to see if MRI can help find cancer early.
This study tests if a special MRI scan (MRE) can better diagnose pancreatic masses. It may help doctors find and treat pancreatic cancer more accurately.
This trial studies whether adding an MRI scan improves the selection of people with pancreatic cancer who may benefit from surgery. It focuses on patients without liver spread and with tumors that are borderline or likely removable.
This trial uses ultrasound elastography and regular MRI to better identify solid kidney masses. It may help improve how these masses are diagnosed and treated.
