Hi doctor i recently had an mri on my abdominal and was wondering if it could detect pancreatic cancer if any?

MRI: Provides relatively high resolution images of your abdominal organs, but it can miss small structures. Regardless, at your age the risk of pancreatic cancer is very very small. A special MRI called an MRCP actually takes better pictures of the pancreas and liver as well as their ducts.

Hi doctor i was wondering. If MRI can detect pancreatic cancers?
I just had an abdominal MRI, with and w/o contrast to check a liver lesion that was picked up on ultrasound. It came back as a hemangiona. Would this type MRI also show other issues, such as cancers of the liver, gallbladder and pancreas?
Are MRI reliable for detecting pancreatic. Cancer because i recently had one and i dont feel very reassured ?
