At ASC, DWB is performed exclusively for the early diagnosis of malignant tumours and non-cancerous diseases may not be identified (e.g. cardiovascular or orthopaedic diseases, etc.). It is important to note that MRI Whole-Body Diffusion is not designed to replace standard cancer screening examinations (e.g. mammography, Pap test, PSA, faecal occult blood screening/colonoscopy), as tumours in such organs (breast, uterus, prostate, colorectal) may not be detected. Finally, with the MRI Whole-Body Diffusion it is not possible to identify malignancies whose diagnosis is exclusively clinical (skin cancers or leukaemia), nor can it ever replace the clinical assessment of your doctor or a specialist.
