Objective: To validate the 2012 guidelines for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm
(IPMN) of the pancreas and to compare diagnostic performances of computed tomography
(CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for differentiating malignant from benign IPMN.

Methods: This retrospective study included 158 patients with surgically confirmed IPMN of …
