The key to accurate and reliable full-body MRI

Using Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI): the key to accurate and reliable full-body MRI

Whole-body MRI is an effective and constantly evolving research method for monitoring one’s health, as well as for early detection of a number of health-related diseases and for monitoring the treatment and recurrence of established cancers.

One absolute and decisive factor in improving quality and diagnostic value is diffusion weighted imaging (DWI).

Diffusion imaging is based on the observation of the movement of water molecules in tissues. This allows abnormal structures – such as cancerous tumours, inflammation and other tissue changes – to be detected, often before they appear on traditional T1 or T2 images.

Diffusion technology further improves contrast and interference detection, making findings more accurate and easier to interpret.

However, a high-quality full-body MRI is based on a holistic approach. That’s why in Visio MRI we take image series from three different directions with thin 0.6-4 mm slice thicknesses – sagittal (sag), coronal (cor) and axial (ax) – to ensure a comprehensive anatomical view from different directions.

In addition, we use both T2 Dixon and T1 Dixon series, which allow efficient separation of fat and fluid. The combination of these arrays improves tissue specificity and helps to identify possible visceral abnormalities accurately and reliably ( e.g. fatty liver ).

We are committed to ensuring that our research provides the most reliable and timely information possible about our clients’ health – safely, efficiently and using modern imaging technology.

This allows us to help our clients make better, more informed health decisions.
