Whole Body MRI; Improve Lesion Detection & Characterization with Diffusion Weighted Techniques

Rajpaul Attariwala¹, Wayne Picker¹

Whole body diffusion with coregistered conventional T1, STIR, T2 sequences is a sensitive method for lesion detection and can be used on modern MRI machines. The exquisite sensitivity of this technique may limit gadolinium for lesion detection in the body, and has the ability to quantify tissue properties.
