Popis: OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to report a new sign, "acinar filling," observed on dynamic MR pancreatography after secretin stimulation in patients with suspected early chronic pancreatitis. CONCLUSION: Acinar filling might reflect tissue hypertension or loss of pancreatic parenchyma compliance or both. This finding is probably an insensitive but specific sign of early chronic pancreatitis.
