Objectives To investigate the ability of T1 mapping to visualize and quantify the short-term and mid-term response of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) to corticosteroid treatment (CST) and to correlate T1 relaxation time of the pancreas with clinical status and serum IgG4 level. Methods The institution...
