## Abstract ## Purpose To prospectively compare the capability for bone metastasis assessment of wholeโbody diffusionโweighted imaging (DWI), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without and with DWI, [^18^F] fluoroโ2โDโglucose positron emission tomography with computed tomography (FDGโPET/CT) and bon
## Abstract Diffusionโweighted MRI (DWI) allows the detection of malignancies in the abdomen and pelvis. Lesion detection and characterization using DWI largely depends on the increased cellularity of solid or cystic lesions compared with the surrounding tissue. This increased cellularity leads res
