Hi doctor i was wondering. if mri can detect pancreatic cancers?

Yes: At your age (19), the risk of pancreatic cancer is vanishingly low. The detection rate for such a tumor is quite good; it may pick up a tiny leson that's producing jaundice so if that's why you think you (or someone you care for) may have it, getting 'scoped may also be in order.
