The purpose of this analysis is to compare 2D T1 FEE and 3D T1 THRIVE for demonstration of the pancreas. A total of 85(45 men, 40 women; 58 years) PACS network datum were analysis clinically indicated pancreas MRI at 1.5 T. The SNRs and CNRs of 3D T1 THRIVE(SNR: $46.42{\pm}0.67$, CNR: $28.16{\pm}0.50$) showed significantly higher values than those from 2D T1 FEE(SNR: $53.84{\pm}1.20$, CNR: $35.48{\pm}0.70$), p<0.05, The image quality of the 3D T1 THRIVE($2.63 {\pm}0.14$) was significantly superior to that with the 2D T1 FEE($2.2{\pm}0.05$), but 3D T1 THRIVE revealed several artifacts resulting in poor quality. In conclusion, The 3D T1 THRIVE technique with a 1.5 T resulting in improved SNRs, CNRs and image quality was demonstrated.
