[Abstract] Pancreatic fibrosis is an important histological change in the repair of pancreatic injury caused by various reasons. Pancreatic fibrosis is closely related to the pathogenesis, therapeutic response and disease progression of pancreatic diseases such as chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic tumor. Early diagnosis of pancreatic fibrosis and early clinical intervention are of great significance for slowing down the disease and improving the prognosis of patients. In recent years, non-invasive examination methods, led by imaging examination, have developed rapidly in the diagnosis of pancreatic fibrosis, with magnetic resonance elastography as the focus. This article reviews the evaluation value of magnetic resonance elastography for pancreatic fibrosis.
