The Reproducibility Of Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging For Neuroendocrine Tumor Liver Metastases

"Each patient will undergo clinical and research MRI examinations. Before any MRI examination, the patient will answer a standard radiology MR department questionnaire form, with specific questions addressing contra-indications to MRI. The questionnaire form will be reviewed by radiology personnel as per standard practice.~During the research MRI, the patient will be monitored visually and communication will be maintained between the patient and the MR technologists via a speaker system. At the termination of the study, the patient will be evaluated by the MR department radiology personnel as done routinely. Two breath hold DWI sequences will be performed for each patient. Since this is a reproducibility study, identical scan parameters will be used for the clinical and research MRI. The multiple b value DWI will be performed using the enhanced DW sequence that have been recently made available on our 3.0 Tesla MR 750 scanners at the Breast and Imaging Center."
