Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess if Six-Dimensional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (6D-MRI) is effective in predicting outcomes in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The overarching goal of this pilot study is to evaluate the usefulness of a novel Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) approach, which measure properties of tumor microenvironment (i.e. vascularity, fibrosis), to predict PDAC response to neoadjuvant therapy (NAT).
