Core Tip	Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) has revolutionized oncological imaging by offering a radiation-free alternative for comprehensive disease assessment across various malignancies. The integration of diffusion-weighted imaging enhances lesion detection and staging accuracy, positioning WB-MRI as a promising alternative to conventional imaging methods like computed tomography and FDG-PET. Despite its high diagnostic performance, the clinical adoption of WB-MRI has been limited due to insufficient prospective data and challenges in patient acceptance.
