LN metastases of pancreatic, duodenal, or periampullary adenocarcinoma cannot be reliably detected with current imaging. This technique detected LN metastases with a sensitivity and specificity of 83% and 92%, respectively. MRI with ferumoxtran-10 is a promising technique to improve preoperative staging in these cancers.
