Can Whole-body Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Diffusion-weighted Imaging Replace Tc 99m Bone Scanning and Computed Tomography for Single-step Detection of Metastases in Patients with High-risk Prostate Cancer?  Frédéric E. Lecouvet, Jawad El Mouedden, Laurence Collette, Emmanuel Coche, Etienne Danse, François Jamar, Jean-Pascal Machiels, Bruno Vande Berg, Patrick Omoumi, Bertrand Tombal  European Urology  Volume 62, Issue 1, Pages (July 2012) DOI: /j.eururo Copyright © 2012 European Association of Urology Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) versus bone scintigraphy (BS) for bone metastasis detection in a 70-yr-old patient with newly diagnosed prostate cancer (prostate-specific antigen 142 ng/ml; Gleason score 9). (A) BS shows two foci of increased uptake (arrows). (B) Coronal T1 and (C) diffusion-weighted MRI images of the whole body confirm bone metastases within the right glenoid and left iliac bone (arrows). (D) The best valuable comparator confirms metastasis, with significant progression of bone involvement at 6 mo.

3 Fig. 2 Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) versus false-negative bone scintigraphy (BS) for bone metastasis detection in a 65-yr-old patient with newly diagnosed prostate cancer (prostate-specific antigen 18 ng/ml; Gleason score 7 [4 + 3]). (A) BS (anterior-posterior and posterior-anterior views) shows no significant lesion. (B) Coronal T1 and (C) diffusion-weighted MRI images of the whole body confirm bone metastases within L3 and the left iliac bone (arrows).

4 Fig. 3 Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) versus computed tomography (CT) for lymph node metastasis detection in a 68-yr-old patient with rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) while undergoing androgen-deprivation therapy (PSA doubling time: 6.4 mo). (A) Coronal T1 and (B) diffusion-weighted MRI of the whole body show multiple abnormal lymph nodes within the iliac and lombo-aortic regions (arrows). (C) These enlarged lymph nodes are confirmed on the corresponding coronal reformatted abdomino-pelvic CT image (arrows). (D, E) Close-up views of the node measurements on MRI and CT images.
