The use of multiparametric whole body imaging is rapidly gaining favor in conducting non-ionizing interrogation of the whole body in a short period of time. The use of functional parameters are needed to better define tissue characteristics, in particular, with the use of DWI. We have tested and demonstrated improved DWI with ADC mapping using advanced pulse sequences incorporating mono- and bipolar gradients schemes during continuous table movement WB-MRI in a group of subjects.
