“…CT is the superior modality to screen for coronary artery disease because of its higher spatial resolution, especially when the newest CT scanners are used (49–51). CT is also superior for the depiction of pulmonary disease, including both pulmonary masses and diffuse parenchymal changes (37, 52).…”

Strategies for screening or tumor staging include various modalities such as plain radiography, computed tomography (CT), MRI, and ultrasound. Technical innovations have created the feasibility to use MRI to image the entire body in a relatively short time-period. Whole-body MRI may play a potentially important role in evaluating for cancer or vascular disease. This article describes the rationale for using MRI to display the entire body, the techniques employed in whole-body MRI, possibilities and limitations, and summarizes first clinical results for screening and staging purposes.
