Quantifying myocardial T1 values has been useful for detecting and characterizing fibrotic appearance in myocardial infarction, focal scars, and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies. Since pancreatic exocrine function decreases with chronic pancreatic fibrosis advancement, this study examined the correlation between pancreatic T1 values and pancreatic exocrine and endocrine insufficiency. Methods: Thirty-two patients underwent abdominal contrast-enhanced MRI in our department between October 2017 and February 2019. We evaluated the T1 values of the pancreas using a modified Look-Locker inversion recovery sequence (MOLLI), pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) by fecal elastase 1 (FE1) values, and pancreatic endocrine insufficiency using fasting insulin and blood glucose levels to calculate the HOMA-beta. This trial is registered in the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry as UMIN 000030067. Results: The median cohort (9 males and 23 females) age was 71 (range: 49-84) years. Eighteen patients had pancreatic cysts, three had alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis, three had pancreatic cancer, and eight possessed other pancreatic features (two patients each with autoimmune pancreatitis, acute pancreatitis, or a bile duct tumor, one with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis, and one healthy control with negative findings). The median pancreatic T1 value measured by the MOLLI was 857.5 ms (597-2569). A significant negative correlation was found between the T1 mapping and FE1 values (r = 0.69,p< 0.01), with none for the T1 with HOMA-beta or serum albumin, triglycerides, or body mass index. Conclusions: the pancreatic T1 values correlated significantly with pancreatic exocrine function and might be useful in PEI diagnosis.
