Abstract

A technique for whole-body magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in only 30 seconds was developed on the basis of a rolling table platform with integrated surface coils and real-time true fast imaging with steady-state precession. In five patients, all hepatic and pulmonary lesions with a diameter exceeding 8 mm were detected by using thoracic and abdominal helical computed tomography as the reference method. Whole-body MR imaging with real-time true fast imaging with steady-state precession is feasible and may be suitable for tumor screening and staging.
