Whole-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 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 ...

متن کاملWhole-body diffusion-weighted imaging for staging lymphoma: are apparent diffusion coefficient derived histogram parameters useful for lesion characterisation?
Methods Fifteen patients with histopathology proven lymphoma (11 Non-Hodgkin; 4 Hodgkin lymphomas) underwent WB-DWI using 2 b-values (0-1000 s/mm). On coronal reformatted b1000 WB-DWI images, regions of interest (ROI) were drawn semi-automatically on lymph nodes in all nodal stations (n=267) and in axial and appendicular bone regions (n=53). For each ROI, a histogram was constructed from which ...
متن کاملDiffusion - weighted imaging for body imaging applications
Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) by means of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) calculation can be used for in vivo quantification of the combined effects of capillary perfusion and diffusion. With the advent of echoplanar imaging (EPI), DWI of the abdomen has become possible with fast imaging times minimizing the effect of gross physiologic motion from respiration and cardiac movement. Several s...
