Journal ArticleDOI

Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a Cancer Biomarker: Consensus and Recommendations

TL;DR: DW-MRI should be tested as an imaging biomarker in the context of well-defined clinical trials, by adding DW-MRI to existing NCI-sponsored trials, particularly those with tissue sampling or survival indicators, and standards for measurement, analysis, and display are needed.
Journal Article

Diffusion weighted whole body imaging with background body signal suppression (DWIBS): technical improvement using free breathing, STIR and high resolution 3D display.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined a new way of body diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) using the short TI inversion recovery-echo planar imaging (STIR-EPI) sequence and free breathing scanning (diffusion weighted whole body imaging with background body signal suppression; DWIBS) to obtain three-dimensional displays.
Book ChapterDOI

Diffusion-Weighted Whole-Body Imaging with Background Body Signal Suppression (DWIBS)

TL;DR: Three-dimensional DWIBS can be obtained with this technique, which may allow us to screen for malignancies in the whole body through diffusion weighted whole body imaging with background body signal suppression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging with background body signal suppression (DWIBS): features and potential applications in oncology.

TL;DR: The recently introduced concept of “diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging with background body signal suppression” (DWIBS) now allows acquisition of volumetric diffusion- Weighted images of the entire body.
Journal ArticleDOI

Practical aspects of assessing tumors using clinical diffusion-weighted imaging in the body.

TL;DR: Practical issues to help radiologists optimize the use of DWI to evaluate tumors in the body are discussed, including breath-hold DWI, multiple-acquisition non-breath-holdDWI, and diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging with background body signal suppression (DWIBS).
