This review illustrates the relevance of whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging (WB-DWI) in the field of oncological imaging. WB-DWI is an alternative method to positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) due to the lack of radiation and lower examination costs. Technical aspects of WB-DWI and the current role of the method in cancer imaging regarding practical requirements in oncology are presented.
本综述阐述了全身扩散加权成像（WB-DWI）在肿瘤成像领域的相关性。由于无辐射且检查成本较低，WB-DWI是正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描（PET/CT）的一种替代方法。本文介绍了WB-DWI的技术方面以及该方法目前在肿瘤成像中针对肿瘤学实际需求所发挥的作用。
