Core Tip	The Ki-67 labelling index reflects the proliferation of tumor cell and it can only be obtained using puncture biopsy or surgical resection. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly malignant and aggressive tumor. Few studies on preoperative prediction of Ki-67 expression in PDAC using dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (DCE-US) have been conducted. Our results demonstrate that DCE-US helps noninvasively predict Ki-67 expression preoperatively in PDAC and it is valuable for surgeons to make clinical treatment program and assess prognosis.
