German group shows how to optimize whole-body MRI

By Maryam Payne

Researchers from Heidelberg and Hannover have tried to establish the most effective protocol for whole-body MRI for cancer detection in patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome.

October 29, 2025

Sequences included in the study MRI protocol: (a) coronal TIRM (turbo inversion recovery magnitude) sequence, (b) coronal T1-weighted sequence, (c) axial FLAIR (fluid-attenuated inversion recovery) sequence (head only), (d) axial T2-weighted fast spin-echo sequence (HASTE), (e) axial diffusion-weighted imaging (b-value 900), (f) an axial ADC map, (g) axial T1-Dixon water-only images before contrast agent, and (h) after administration of contrast agent.
