Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) with diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging with background body signal suppression (DWIBS) in prostate cancer: Prevalence and clinical significance of incidental findings

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 ...

Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) including diffusion-weighted imaging with background signal suppression (DWIBS) vs 18F-FDG-PET/CT in the study of malignant tumours

Patient 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...

Supplemental value of diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging with background body signal suppression (DWIBS) technique to whole-body magnetic resonance imaging in detection of bone metastases from thyroid cancer.

INTRODUCTION We compared the efficacy of whole-body MRI (WBMRI) with and without diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging with background body signal suppression (DWIBS) using a 3.0-T MR scanner to [18F] fluoro-2-D-glucose positron emission tomography with CT (integrated FDG-PET/CT) for the detection of bone metastases in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). METHODS We examined ...

Diffusion-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 ...
