Core Tip
Core Tip: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) parameter values of the normal pancreas are consistent when imaging with different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices, and it was found that the variability of IVIM parameter values may be related to the use of different MRI machines.
