Abstract
Advances in hardware and software enable high-quality body diffusion-weighted images to be acquired for oncologic assessment. 3.0 T affords improved signal/noise for higher spatial resolution and smaller field-of-view diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). DWI at 3.0 T can be applied as at 1.5 T to improve tumor detection, disease characterization, and the assessment of treatment response. DWI at 3.0 T can be acquired on a hybrid PET-MR imaging system, to allow functional MR information to be combined with molecular imaging.Entities:
