| Core Tip |
Although the agreement in nodal and extranodal involvement by diffuse large-cell B lymphoma is excellent, patients are less willing to undergo whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (wbMRI) as a second examination parallel to positron emission tomography/computed tomography. wbMRI is less well accepted, and patients are concerned about the enclosed environment and duration of the MRI examination. The measurements of lymph node dimensions and quantification of restricted diffusion are not better guides of nodal involvement than visual assessment by an experienced radiologist. Diffusion weighted images with background suppression and contrast-enhanced T1 were the most useful sequences in wbMRI, allowing the imaging protocol to be shortened. |
