The value of whole-body MRI instead of only brain MRI in addition to 18 F-FDG PET/CT in the staging of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer by Hanna Holmstrand, M Lindskog, A Sundin, T Hansen

“…WB-MRI and FDG-PET/CT both showed maximum sensitivity and specificity for primary tumor diagnosis and similar sensitivity (p = 1.00) and specificity (p = 0.70) for detection of distant metastases. For diagnosis of lymph node metastases, WB-MRI showed lower sensitivity, 0.65 (95% CI: 0.38–0.86) than FDG-PET/CT, 1.00 (95% CI: 0.80-1.00) (p < 0.05), but similar specificity (p = 0.59). …”
