What is Whole-Body Diffusion?

This label refers to an MRI technique that aims to detect the occurrence of malignant tumours as small as a few millimetres in the whole body (from the vertex to mid-thighs, including the proximal portion of the upper limbs) in a single session, according to ONCO-RADS guidelines. It is an innovative, highly sophisticated examination. Creating three-dimensional and panoramic reconstructions of the whole body, it has proven to be a valuable diagnostic tool, because it is capable of detecting very small malignant tumour areas of 3-4 millimetres. This offers the chance to take early action with appropriate treatments.
