Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging provides accurate staging of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, but is less preferred by patients

Figure 2 Left axillary lymph node with fatty hilum 23 mm × 9 mm with avid focus in the cortex on fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (SUV_max 5. 5) was reported as negative on whole-body magnetic resonance imaging two days earlier. A: Contrast-enhanced single breath-hold T1 weighted images; B: Diffusion weighted images; C: Diffusion weighted images and contrast-enhanced T1 weighted images on magnetic resonance imaging (fused); D: Computed tomography; E: Positron emission tomography; F: Positron emission tomography/computed tomography images (fused). MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging; T1-Gd: Contrast-enhanced T1 weighted single breath-hold images; DWI: Diffusion weighted images; PET/CT: Positron emission tomography/computed tomography.
