Tumour characterisation, staging and operability assessment in ovarian carcinoma: whole body diffusion-weighted MRI versus CT
Methods One-hundred-sixty-six patients suspected for ovarian carcinoma underwent 3T WB-DWI/MRI using 2 b-values (b=0-1000 s/mm), T2-weighted and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted sequences in addition to contrast-enhanced CT. WB-DWI/MRI and CT were independently and blindly evaluated and correlated with pathological findings at surgery as reference standard. Superiority was assessed using two-taile...
متن کاملWhole-body diffusion-weighted MRI for staging of women with cancer during pregnancy: a pilot study
Methods Twenty patients diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy underwent WB-DWI additional to conventional imaging in this prospective single centre study. Reproducibility of WB-DWI between 2 readers was evaluated using Cohen’s statistics and accuracy was compared to conventional imaging for assessing primary tumour site, nodal metastases and visceral metastases. Histopathology after surgery or...
متن کاملWhole-body MRI including diffusion-weighted imaging compared to CT for staging of malignant melanoma
BACKGROUND Whole-body (WB) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), has been increasingly used for the detection of metastatic disease. PURPOSE To assess the value of WB MRI including DWI compared to computed tomography (CT) for staging of malignant melanoma. A second aim was to assess the value of DWI in addition to conventional MR sequences for the detec...
متن کاملPatient experience of whole body diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) for staging myeloma
Aim WB-MRI provides a fast, highly sensitive assessment of disease burden in myeloma. The 2015 International Myeloma Working Group consensus statement recommends WB-MRI for staging asymptomatic myeloma and for workup of solitary bone plasmacytoma. The technique is noisy, employs whole body surface coils, and takes longer than a standard MRI spine. We assessed patient experience of WB-MRI and id...
متن کاملWhole-body diffusion-weighted MRI: tips, tricks, and pitfalls.
OBJECTIVE We examine the clinical impetus for whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI and discuss how to implement the technique with clinical MRI systems. We include practical tips and tricks to optimize image quality and reduce artifacts. The interpretative pitfalls are enumerated, and potential challenges are highlighted. CONCLUSION Whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI can be used for tumor staging...
