Numerous imaging modalities may be used for the staging of women with advanced breast
cancer. Although bone scintigraphy and multiplanar-CT are the most frequently used tests …

Bone is the most common site of distant metastases from breast carcinoma. The presence of
bone metastases affects a patient's prognosis, quality of life, and the planning of their …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of whole-
body MR imaging, skeletal scintigraphy, and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron …

Previous studies have shown that vertebral bone metastases (BM) not seen on planar bone
scintigraphy (BS) might be present on 18F-fluoride PET scans or at MRI. Therefore, we …

PURPOSE: To compare the results of whole-body magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with
staging based on computed tomographic (CT), dedicated MR imaging, and nuclear …

Skeletal metastases are one of the major clinical problems for the oncologist. Over the last
several decades bone scintigraphy has been used extensively in detecting bone …

The aim of this study was to compare the results of whole-body MRI using a recently
developed rolling table platform with findings of nuclear scintigraphy in patients with bone …

The aim of this study was presentation of a whole-body MRI technique with a moving table
as a screening tool for bone metastases in patients with breast cancer. Twenty-two patients …

A technique for whole-body magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in only 30 seconds was
developed on the basis of a rolling table platform with integrated surface coils and real-time …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the location and size of
vertebral body metastases influence the difference in detection rates between MR imaging …
