Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. A low density area usually refers to a region containing fluid like a cystic area and less commonly a fat containing area.
2. In the pancreas, a low density area can mean a cystic area from inflammation or non inflammation or less likely from a fat or neoplastic area.
3. In MRI the low density area is better visualised and will help to make accurate diagnosis of your condition.
Hope your query is anwered.
