Whole-Body 3D T1-weighted MR Imaging in Patients with Prostate Cancer: Feasibility and Evaluation in Screening for Metastatic Disease

Abstract

Whole-body MR imaging is feasible with a 3D T1-weighted sequence and provides better SNR and CNR compared with 2D sequences, with a diagnostic performance that is as good or better for the detection of bone metastases and better for the detection of lymph node metastases.
