Objective To summarize the current status of imaging in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas (IPMN).Method The related literatures of imaging about IPMN of the pancreas were searched in the PubMed, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang Data databases, etc.Results A variety of imaging techniques could be used to diagnosis IPMN of the pancreas, including CT, MRI, EUS, and PET-CT. The CT and MRI had great performances to diagnose and differential diagnosis of benign and malignant IPMN of the pancreas. The MRI with new targeted nanoparticle contrast agents could be used to diagnosis the early IPMN of the pancreas. The EUS was very good at detecting the wall nodules in the IPMN of the pancreas. Compared with the CT and MRI, the ability of EUS to grade IPMN of the pancreas was uncertain. The PET-CT was of high performance for the differential diagnosis between the benign and malignant IPMN of the pancreas.Conclusions Various imaging technologies have their own advantages in diagnosing IPMN of pancreas. MRI is currently the optimal choice when condition is permit.
