Synopsis

Keywords: Cancer, Whole BodyWhole-body MRI (WB-MRI) is proposed as a potential modality to evaluate the entire body with excellent spatial resolution and high sensitivity. However, the long scanning time of WB-MRI has still limited the clinical application. This study compared the time cost and lesion display effect of WB-MRI in different scan directions. This study demonstrated that using coronal scanning in WB-MRI is an effective method to reduce the scan time and achieve good performance in detecting lesions in clinical applications.
