Whole-body MRI gets cancer detection boost

By Philip Ward

Fresh evidence shows that whole-body MRI may be quicker and cheaper than standard imaging for detecting the spread of colorectal and non-small cell lung cancers, while being just as sensitive. The findings from two prospective trials involving nearly 500 patients across 16 U.K. hospitals were published on 9 May in Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology and Lancet Respiratory Medicine.
