Fifty patients who underwent magnetic resonance imaging of the pancreas with clinical or laboratory diagnosis of early pancreatitis were included in the study. The diagnostic accuracy of DWI was analyzed on the basis of quantitative (apparent diffusion coefficient [ADC] values) evaluation in the diagnosis of early acute pancreatitis. Threshold values for ADC were derived for differentiation of inflamed versus normal pancreas. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive values (NPV) were obtained by drawing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean ADC values in the patient group (0.882 \u00d7 10\n                      <jats:sup>\u22123<\/jats:sup>\n                      mm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      \/s \u00b1 0.102) were significantly lower than the control group (1.178 \u00d7 10\n                      <jats:sup>\u22123<\/jats:sup>\n                      mm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      \/s \u00b1 0.232) with\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001.
