Summary
This study tests a small, portable device called P4 that sits inside an MRI scanner to improve the accuracy of scans for pancreatic cancer. Researchers want to see if it can reduce errors when measuring blood flow in tumors, which helps doctors know if treatment is working. The trial includes 5 healthy volunteers and 50 pancreatic cancer patients.
