Among 29 verified neoplasms in 28 patients, CT detected 22 and MRI 27 (sensitivity 76% versus 93%). This apparent superiority of MRI is mainly caused by the higher inherent contrast difference between tumors and normal parenchyma, by fat signal suppression on scans with enhanced tumor, and by oblique axial demonstration of the entire gland on one section.
