Objective To summarize the imaging characteristics of MSCT (multi-slice spiral CT) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of pancreatic cystic tumors and to analyze the clinical value of MSCT and MRI in diagnosing and differentiating pancreatic cystic tumors. Methods The clinical data of 39 patients with pancreatic cystic tumors who were treated in our hospital between May 2012 and June 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent MSCT and MRI examination and imaging data were complete. The differential value of MSCT and MRI in calcification and cystic components of pancreatic cystic tumors was analyzed. Results The accuracy of MRI in diagnosing intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) (100.0%) was significantly higher than that of MSCT (62.5%). The accuracy of MRI in diagnosing pancreatic cystic tumors (82.1%) was higher than that of MSCT (61.5%) (P<0.05). Conclusion Both of MSCT and MRI can clearly show blood supply and shapes of pancreatic cystic tumors. MSCT is better at displaying calcification around cystic wall and in center while MRI is better at displaying tumor cystic components, wall nodules and separation.
