Volumetric-Based Analysis of In-Vivo and Ex-Vivo Quantita-tive MR Diffusion Parameters in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: Correlation with Pathologic Findings

Imaging biomarkers are needed to assess modifications in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) induced by stroma-targeted therapies. The study investigates correlations between quantitative diffusion parameters obtained in vivo and ex vivo with a tumour volumetric approach and quantitative pathologic findings including fibrosis, vascular and total nuclear densities in PA
