Application of whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI (WB-DWI) in diagnosis of bone metastases from lung cancer
Objective: In view of the characteristics of Whole-Body Diffusion-Weighted MRI (WB-DWI) and the difficulties in the diagnosis of bone metastases from lung cancer, our study aimed to explore the possible application of WB-DWI in diagnosis of bone metastases from lung cancer. Methods: 70 patients with lung cancer were selected in our hospital from August 2012 to June 2014. All the patients were s...
متن کاملWhole-body Diffusion-weighted Imaging: Usefulness for Assessment of M-stage in Lung Cancer Patients as Compared with Standard Whole-body MR Imaging and FDG-PET
Introduction: Assessment of M-stage is very important for management in lung cancer patients. For this purpose, FDG-PET is widely utilized as whole-body imaging tool for cancer staging with high diagnostic capability (1, 2). Recently, some investigators has suggested that whole-body MR imaging (MRI) has the capability for cancer screening and/ or staging similar to PET (3-5). In addition, whole...
متن کاملWhole-body DWI in practice
Whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging (WB-DWI) can be used to assess malignancy throughout the body for tumour staging and is being applied for the assessment of treatment response. One of the current unmet needs in oncology is the assessment of metastatic bone disease and diffuse bone marrow involvement, for which WB-DWI appears highly promising. For WB-DWI to be deployed successfully, meticul...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of bone metastases detection in cancer patients: comparison between bone scintigraphy and whole-body FDG-PET.
UNLABELLED 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has become widely available and an important oncological technique. To evaluate the influence of PET on detection of bone metastasis, we compared the diagnostic accuracy of PET and conventional bone scintigraphy (BS) in a variety of cancer patients. METHODS Consecutive ninety-five patients with various cancers, who rec...
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...
