Post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is one of the most fearful complications which may occur after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). The methods used to predict POPF pre-operatively have not been studied in great detail. We analyzed correlation between various parameters related to PD including pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal intensity (SI), pathology of pancreatic fibrosis and occurrence rates of POPF, and verified that MRI SI results could be the determining values for pre-operative prediction of POPF.
