Variables Derived
Ratio I Mean HU value of tumor / mean HU value of pancreas
Ratio II Mean HU value of cystic tumor / mean HU value of normal pancreas
Ratio III Mean HU value of solid tumor / mean HU value of cystic tumor
SD Ratio I Standard deviation of HU value at solid tumor / mean HU value at normal pancreas
SD Ratio II Standard deviation of HU value at solid tumor / standard deviation of pancreas
SD Ratio III Standard deviation of HU value at solid tumor / mean HU value at aorta
Normalized enhancement I Mean HU value of solid tumor/ mean HU value of aorta
Normalized enhancement II Mean HU value of cystic tumor  / mean HU value of aorta
Signal to Noise Ratio I (Mean HU value of normal pancreas – mean HU value at solid tumor mean)/Standard Deviation at normal pancreas
Signal to Noise Ratio II (Mean of HU value of normal pancreas – mean HU value at cystic tumor)/Standard Deviation of HU value at normal pancreas
