الوصف: Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) stromal viscoelasticity can be measured using MR elastography (MRE). Bowel preparation regimens could affect MRE quality and knowledge on repeatability is crucial for clinical implementation. Purpose: To assess effects of four bowel preparation regimens on MRE quality and to evaluate repeatability and differentiate patients from healthy controls. Study Type: Prospective. Population: 15 controls (41 ± 16 years; 47% female), 16 PDAC patients (one excluded, 66 ± 12 years; 40% female) with 15 age-/sex-matched controls (65 ± 11 years; 40% female). Final sample size was 25 controls and 15 PDAC. Field Strength/Sequence: 3-T, spin-echo echo-planar-imaging, turbo spin-echo, and fast field echo gradient-echo. Assessment: Four different regimens were used: fasting; scopolaminebutyl; drinking 0.5 L water; combination of 0.5 L water and scopolaminebutyl. MRE signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was compared between all regimens. MRE repeatability (test–retest) and differences in shear wave speed (SWS) and phase angle (ϕ) were assessed in PDAC and controls. Regions-of-interest were defined for tumor, nontumorous (n = 8) tissue in PDAC, and whole pancreas in controls. Two radiologists delineated tumors twice for evaluation of intraobserver and interobserver variability. Statistical Tests: Repeated measures analysis of variance, coefficients of variation (CoVs), Bland–Altman analysis, (un)paired t-test, Mann–Whitney U-test, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. P-value<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Preparation regimens did not significantly influence MRE-SNR. Therefore, the least burdensome preparation (fasting only) was continued. CoVs for tumor SWS were: intrasession (12.8%) and intersession (21.7%), and intraobserver (7.9%) and interobserver (10.3%) comparisons. For controls, CoVs were intrasession (4.6%) and intersession (6.4%). Average SWS for tumor, nontumor, and healthy tissue were: 1.74 ± 0.58, 1.38 ± 0.27, and 1.18 ± 0.16 m/sec (ϕ: 1.02 ± 0.17, 0.91 ± ...
