(18)F-FDG PET is an established functional imaging modality for the evaluation of human disease. Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) is another rapidly evolving functional imaging modality that can be used to evaluate oncologic and nononcologic lesions throughout the body. The information provided by (18)F-FDG PET and DWI can be complementary, because the 2 methods are based on completely different biophysical underpinnings. This article will describe the basic principles, clinical applications, and limitations of DWI. In addition, the available evidence that correlates and compares (18)F-FDG PET and DWI will be reviewed.
(18)F-FDG PET 是评估人类疾病的一种成熟的功能成像方式。扩散加权磁共振成像(DWI)是另一种快速发展的功能成像方式,可用于评估全身的肿瘤和非肿瘤病变。(18)F-FDG PET 和 DWI 提供的信息可以互补,因为这两种方法基于完全不同的生物物理基础。本文将描述 DWI 的基本原理、临床应用和局限性。此外,还将回顾(18)F-FDG PET 和 DWI 相关和比较的现有证据。
