MR-DWIBS may be used to evaluate localisation of parenchymal neoplasms but is less efficacious in characterising lymph-node and skeletal lesions. [(18)F]-FDG-PET/CT remains the best whole-body technique to identify lymph-node and skeletal lesions, but its limitation is identifying tumours with low glucose metabolism as in mucinous neoplasms. MR-DWIBS evaluation must be integrated with morphological images to increase MR diagnostic accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
