Multicenter StudyWhole-body MRI-DWI for assessment of residual disease after completion of therapy in lymphoma: A prospective multicenter study.
To assess the performance of whole-body MRI including diffusion-weighted imaging (whole-body MRI-DWI) for the detection of residual disease after completion of treatment in lymphoma patients. ⋯ Our initial results suggest that visual whole-body MRI-DWI analysis has a very good sensitivity for detecting viable residual lesions after completion of therapy but lacks specificity. ADC measurements could potentially increase the specificity of whole-body MRI.
