Abstract: MRI now offers an alternative imaging technique that combines functional tools with expanded anatomical coverage. Technical progress in magnetic resonance has reduced acquisition times, allowed perfusion and diffusion imaging to be combined with whole body scanning, and made it possible to perform whole body scanning without irradiation. Here we detail the technical advances in whole body MRI and the emerging clinical applications resulting from this new imaging tool. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
