Fig. 14.6

Autoimmune pancreatitis type 1. Well-demarcated focal enlargement of the pancreatic tail on CT (a, b). Note the slightly reduced perfusion in the early parenchymal phase (a). Low signal intensity on T2-weighted MRI (c) and diffusion restriction on DWI ADC map (d) reveals the lymphoplasmacytic infiltration with fibrotic components in contrast to edema in “usual” pancreatitis. After 6 weeks therapy with steroids, note the significant atrophy of the pancreatic tail on T2-weighted (e) and CE T1-weighted MRI (f)
