A method for non invasively detecting and monitoring pancreatic pathologies preferably related to vascular changes or inflammatory processes in the pancreas, such as the onset of IDDM, by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is disclosed. The method enables the detection of IDDM prior to the appearance of clinical manifestation, by detecting early stages of IDDM such as insulitis. The disclosed method also enables correlation of different stages of pancreatic diseases with the characteristics of contrast enhancement curves. A MRI system for monitoring pancreatic pathology in a patient is also disclosed. the system comprises a single volume coil for transmitting and receiving signals from an internal body organ of a patient, such as the pancreas, or the spleen.

L'invention concerne une méthode permettant de détecter et de surveiller de façon non invasive des pathologies pancréatiques, de préférence associées à des changements vasculaires ou à des processus inflammatoires dans le pancréas, comme par exemple l'apparition du DID, par imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM). Cette méthode permet de détecter le DID avant l'apparition des manifestations cliniques, par détection des stades peu avancés du DID, par exemple l'insulite. Cette méthode permet également de mettre en corrélation les différents stades des maladies pancréatiques avec les caractéristiques des courbes d'amélioration de contraste. L'invention concerne également un système IRM permettant de surveiller une pathologie pancréatique chez un patient. Ce système comprend une seule bobine de volume servant à transmettre et à recevoir des signaux d'un organe interne d'un patient, tel que le pancréas, ou la rate.
