Diffusion-Weighted Whole-Body Imaging with Background Body Signal Suppression (DWIBS): MRI Sequence for Metastatic Workup
Objectives: To assess the feasibility of DWIBS in screening patients for metastasis either in bone, solid organs or lymph nodes. Patients and Methods: A total of 50 patients (27 men and 23 women) with their ages ranged from 27-69 years, mean age, 48 years. Forty five patients (25 men and 20 women) had distant metastases from a known primary malignancy, and five patients (2 men and 3 women) had ...
متن کاملWhole-body diffusion-weighted imaging in lymphoma
The current evidence regarding the usefulness of whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) in lymphoma is reviewed. DWI is capable of combining anatomical and functional information and is becoming a valuable tool in oncology, in particular for staging purposes. DWI may prove to be a useful biomarker in clinical decision making for patients with lymphoma. Large-scaled prosp...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted imaging and diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging with background body signal suppression for characterizing esophageal cancer: a case report
PURPOSE Information on the extent or structure of esophageal cancer (ESC) is necessary for identifying whether the carcinoma is localized or resectable. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging with background body signal suppression (DWIBS) are useful for this purpose. PATIENTS AND METHODS One case of ESC with dysphagia presented at our hospital. Endoscopic ...
متن کاملDiffusion weighted imaging with background body signal suppression / T2 image fusion in magnetic resonance mammography for breast cancer diagnosis.
INTRODUCTION Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Mammography (DCE-MRM) represents the most sensitive examination for breast cancer (BC) diagnosis. However literature data reports very inhomogeneous specificity. The aim of our study was to evaluate the clinical efficiency of a new MRM technique - diffusion weighted imaging with background body signal suppression T2 image fusion in BC di...
متن کاملWhole-body-MR-diffusion weighted imaging in oncology.
UNLABELLED The clinical implementation of whole body diffusion weighted imaging (WB-DWI) for tumor-detection, -characterization and therapy monitoring is well underway. The method is fast, robust and combined with its wide availability on modern MRI scanners, it has a vast potential clinical impact. Owing to the high tumor to background contrast, its main application areas are simple detection ...
