Quantitative Whole-Body MRI

In his Editorial “Advancing Cancer Care with Modern MRI”  Professor Padhani points out that many aspects of cancer care remain on ‘red alert’ as we enter the second decade of the 21st century. There are many times when healthcare professionals cannot confidently answer questions that directly affect patient care. Seemingly simple questions such as “Do I have cancer?”, “Is the cancer going to kill me?”, “Is my cancer responding to therapy?”, “Is the cancer back?” and “How long do I have to live?”, “Will I make it to my daughter’s wedding?” evade us on a daily basis. While we struggle to respond to the needs of our patients, we remain aware that progress is being made every day in cancer diagnosis and therapy, and within this, is the role being played by MRI as highlighted by articles and videos on this page.

Application Tips & Protocols

Whole-Body MRI at 1.5T in the Era of Deep Resolve.
Step-by-step video tutorial with MAGNETOM Sola and software version syngo MR XA51

Will McGuire, Deputy MRI Superintendent Radiographer (Paul Strickland Scanner Centre, Northwood, Middlesex, UK)

The "Comprehensive" protocol includes a fast FLAIR brain scan, lung imaging and additional VIBE sequences. This protocol will be the more widely compatible version as it does not include Deep Resolve or other advanced acceleration techniques.
The "Core" protocol is typically used for bone-only disease. This protocol contains Deep Resolve Gain and Deep Resolve Sharp enhanced sequences.
You can mix and match sequences from both protocols to best suit your requirements.
Deep Resolve Boost enhanced protocols will be uploaded when syngo MR XA60/61 becomes widely available.

Whole-body MRI at 1.5T: step-by-step video tutorial 
with MAGNETOM Avantofit and software version syngo MR E11C 

Will McGuire, Deputy Superintendent Radiographer, Paul Strickland Scanner Centre, Northwood, Middlesex, UK 

Whole-body MRI has been used as a clinical tool at Paul Strickland Scanner Centre for over 10 years. In that time they have performed over 6,500 examinations, using a protocol designed to enable the detection and surveillance of metastatic bone and soft tissue disease. Will McGuire, Linda Culver and Anwar R. Padhani share their .exar1 protocol file exported from a MAGNETOM Avantofit running software version syngo MR E11C.
