Study Using Hyperpolarized 13C-Pyruvate Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging in Patients With Pancreatic Cysts Undergoing Surgical Resection

This study is testing a specialised MRI technique using a tracer called hyperpolarised 13C-pyruvate to better characterise pancreatic cysts — fluid-filled sacs in the pancreas that may or may not be cancerous. The goal is to develop better tools to predict which cysts need surgery. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have one or more pancreatic cysts - You are already scheduled to have surgical removal or biopsy of the cyst as part of your standard care - You are able to give written informed consent - Both English and non-English speakers can participate **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a contraindication to MRI (such as a pacemaker or certain metal implants) - You cannot undergo the study imaging safely - Your kidney function is significantly impaired Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
