In this study, we aimed to investigate the quantitative and qualitative imaging features of solid pancreas lesions based on subtype and grade.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Material and methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study group consisted of 159 patients with solid pancreatic tumours detected after exclusion criteria. According to the pathology results, the patients were divided into 3 groups as PDAC (pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, n = 137), PNET (pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour, n = 15), and SC (sarcomatoid carcinoma, n = 7). PDAC and PNET lesions were evaluated in 3 subgroups according to grade.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There was no difference between the groups in terms of age, gender, tumour localisation, and internal structure (p = 0.23, p = 0.81, p = 0.19, and p = 0.94, respectively). Qualitative features significantly differed in terms of tumour margin feature, visual tumour density, presence of cystic component, and presence of necrosis (p = 0.01, p = 0.0001, p = 0.002, and p = 0.004, respectively). Tumour size, Tmden, Tmden\/VPden, and Tmden\/PanPden showed differences between groups (p = 0.0001, p = 0.002, p = 0.0001, p = 0.0001, respectively). The presence of cystic density in PDAC patients differed according to grade (p = 0.01).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>While ill-defined irregular margins, hypodense visual tumour density, no cystic component, low value of Tmden, and low ratios of Tmden\/VPden and Tmden\/PanPden indicate PDAC, regular margins, iso-or hyperdense visual tumour density, cystic component, high value of Tmden, and high ratios of Tmden\/VPden and Tmden\/PanPden indicate PNET. SC can be differentiated from them by containing necrosis and reaching larger sizes. The presence of a cystic component in PDAC patients indicates high grade.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5114\/pjr.2024.136423","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,19]],"date-time":"2024-03-19T09:39:34Z","timestamp":1710841174000},"page":"140-147","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Qualitative and quantitative imaging features of solid pancreas tumours in portal venous phase CT: are they useful in determining tumour type and grade?"],"prefix":"10.5114","volume":"89","author":[{"given":"Elif","family":"G\u00fcndo\u011fdu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdullah","family":"K\u00fc\u00e7\u00fckh\u00fcseyin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3061","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref-1161244","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"409","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21731","article-title":"Cancer treatment and survivorship statistics, 2022","volume":"72","author":"Miller KD","year":"2022","unstructured":"Miller KD, Nogueira L, Devasia T, et al.
