Purpose of reviewImaging of the pancreas is critical for diagnostic decision-making. Improvements in imaging have the potential to translate into improved patient outcomes by more accurate and rapid diagnosis. Evolving approaches to imaging for pancreatic diseases in the past year are reviewed. Recent findingsThe approach to patients with cystic lesions continues to focus on careful patient selection for surgery and targeted use of imaging and cyst sampling. Intraductal papillary mucinous…

Molecular Imaging with MRI: Potential Application in Pancreatic Cancer
TLDR
This topic is reviewed in terms of the contrast agents for MR molecular imaging, the biomarkers related to PC, targeted molecular probes for MRI, and the application of MRI in the diagnosis of PC.
PET Imaging in Pancreatic Cancer
TLDR
Current PET molecular imaging tracers or probes for pancreatic cancer detection are summarized, and a perspective of the future trend of Pancreatic cancer target-specific probes in the clinic is also presented.
Surgical resection of pancreatic insulinoma during pregnancy: Case report and literature review
Insulinoma Identified in Puerperium: Association with Pregnancy and Literature Review
TLDR
A 34-year-old woman who experienced neuroglycopenia 2 days after delivery, Corresponding to severe hypoglycemia, found inappropriately elevated insulin and C-peptide levels and diagnostic suspicion of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor.
18F-labeled Dimer-Sansalvamide A Cyclodecapeptide: A Novel Diagnostic Probe to Discriminate Pancreatic Cancer from Inflammation in a Nude Mice Model
TLDR
It is concluded that 18F-NOTA-Dimer-San A PET might allow non-invasive imaging for Hsp90 expression in tumors and has the potential to discriminate pancreatic cancer from inflammatory mass.

Pancreatic cystic lesions
TLDR
The approach to incidentally discover pancreatic cystic lesions is challenging due to the difficulty in preoperative definitive lesion characterization, but recently developed diagnostic and treatment strategies show promise for improved patient outcomes.

TLDR
MRI is a useful tool in the preoperative imaging of pancreatic head lesions that is highly sensitive and very specific for resectable disease.
Multidisciplinary management strategy for incidental cystic lesions of the pancreas.
Preoperative multidetector row computed tomography for evaluation and assessment of resection criteria in patients with pancreatic masses
TLDR
MDCT with 3Ds was highly accurate for evaluation and assessment of irresectability criteria in patients with pancreatic masses, however, due to the limited specificity regarding arterial tumor infiltration, the indication for surgical exploration should be made generously in case of inconclusive findings.

TLDR
DWI is useful for detecting AIP and for evaluating the effect of steroid therapy, and an ADC cutoff value may be useful for distinguishing AIP from pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic Manifestations of von Hippel-Lindau Disease-Effect of Imaging on Clinical Management
TLDR
Most pancreatic masses in VHL do not require annual surveillance and arterial-phase CT improves mass detection, but many masses remain prospectively missed.

TLDR
In the preliminary study, IVUS correctly predicted arterial infiltration in all cases and was able to provide new information when the tumor was far away from the vessel, which encouraged a prospective study to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of this method.
