High-Resolution Whole-Body Magnetic Resonance Image Tumor Staging With the Use of Parallel Imaging Versus Dual-Modality Positron Emission Tomography–Computed Tomography

Abstract

WB-MRI and PET-CT are reliable imaging modalities for tumor staging. WB-MRI is highly sensitive in detecting distant metastases; PET-CT is superior in lymph node staging. PAT makes high-resolution WB-MRI feasible within less than 1 hour.
