Multiparametric Whole-Body MRI with Diffusion-Weighted Imaging and ADC Mapping for the Identification of Visceral and Osseous Metastases from Solid Tumors

摘要

Rationale and ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to investigate the use of multiparametric, whole-body, diffusion-weighted imaging (WB-DWI) and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) maps with T2-weighted MRI at 3T for the detection and monitoring of metastatic disease in patients.
