Advanced imaging techniques can identify pancreatic features that are characteristic of diabetes subtypes and can help guide molecular and genetic investigations. This Review describes pancreatic imaging in monogenic diabetes mellitus, focusing on the characteristic imaging findings in patients with subtypes of this disease, and relates these features to imaging findings in other exocrine and endocrine pancreatic disorders. The potential of advanced imaging techniques to reveal novel aspects of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of monogenic diabetes mellitus that are relevant for progression to β-cell disease is also discussed.
