“…Whole body MRI techniques have been explored generally to examine the anatomical structures of multiple organs (such as neck, chest, abdomen, spine, pelvis, and extremities) and disease conditions including bleeding, edema, lymphoma, skeletal metastases in patients (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11), whole body inflammation (12), diabetes (13), or virtual autopsy (14).
