    Quantitative MRI techniques provide structural and pathophysiological insights into the pancreas, enhancing diabetes mellitus diagnosis and monitoring.

  • 2

    MRI is a non-ionizing imaging modality that offers superior soft-tissue contrast for assessing pancreatic anatomy compared to computed tomography.

  • 3

    Longitudinal studies indicate that patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus experience significant declines in pancreatic volume shortly after diagnosis.

  • 4

    Alterations in pancreatic volume may serve as early biomarkers for type 1 diabetes mellitus susceptibility and disease progression.

  • 5

    The integration of artificial intelligence and radiomics in quantitative MRI is promising but requires further validation for clinical application.
