Top studies on Whole-Body MRI

Ranked by influential-citation count and publication year.

  1. Whole-body MRI for opportunistic cancer detection in asymptomatic individuals: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

    European radiology2026n=9,02470 influential citations

    <h4>Objectives</h4>The rising global cancer burden underscores the need for efficient screening strategies. Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) has emerged as a promising modality for cancer screening, with growing use in…

  2. Segmenting Whole-Body MRI and CT for Multiorgan Anatomic Structure Delineation.

    Radiology. Artificial intelligence2025n=1774 influential citations

    Purpose To develop and validate MRSegmentator, a retrospective cross-modality deep learning model for multiorgan segmentation of MRI scans. Materials and Methods This retrospective study trained MRSegmentator on 1200 manually annotated UK…

  3. ESUR: Opportunities for PSMA-PET/CT and whole-body MRI in advanced prostate cancer.

    European radiology20263 influential citations

    Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) computed tomography (CT), and whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) are superior to conventional CT and bone scan imaging for detecting metastatic…

  4. A weakly-supervised deep learning model for fast localisation and delineation of the skeleton, internal organs, and spinal canal on whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI (WB-DWI).

    Computer methods and programs in biomedicine2025n=453 influential citations

    <h4>Background and objective</h4>Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) values and Total Diffusion Volume (TDV) from Whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI (WB-DWI) are recognised cancer imaging biomarkers. However, manual disease delineation for…

  5. Automated volumetric MRI quantification of body fat and skeletal muscle in the UK Biobank: technical validation against expert manual segmentations and comparison with single-slice techniques.

    Abdominal radiology (New York)2026n=4,9052 influential citations

    <h4>Objectives</h4>The escalating global incidence of obesity, cardiometabolic disease and sarcopenia necessitates reliable body composition measurement tools. MRI-based assessment is the gold standard, with utility in both clinical and…

  6. Big bones mean big muscles: an MRI-based dataset of muscle-bone-body size relationships across 70 human muscles of the upper limb, trunk, and lower limb.

    Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985)20262 influential citations

    Body sizes and shapes vary widely, even among healthy adults, resulting in diverse muscle sizes, strengths, and performance capacities. This study developed an artificially intelligent (AI) algorithm to segment individual muscles and bones…

  7. Whole-body MRI in arthritis.

    Skeletal radiology20252 influential citations

    Whole-body MRI (wbMRI) is an advanced scan modality which provides high-contrast resolution images of the entire body for screening, diagnosis, staging, and surveillance purposes. Thanks to recent technological advancements, wbMRI has…

  8. Fifteen years of use of functional imaging in multiple myeloma: where we started and where we are going.

    Blood advances20252 influential citations

    <h4>Abstract</h4>Bone disease represents a hallmark feature of multiple myeloma (MM), affecting nearly all patients during the disease course. Morphological imaging techniques play a crucial role in detecting bone disease, whereas…

  9. Comparing Whole-Body Diffusion-weighted MRI to Conventional Imaging: Staging Pediatric Bone and Soft-Tissue Sarcomas.

    Radiology. Imaging cancer2025n=472 influential citations

    Purpose To determine agreement between conventional staging and whole-body (WB) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) MRI in newly diagnosed pediatric sarcomas and to compare the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and…

  10. AI-driven software for automated quantification of skeletal metastases and treatment response evaluation using whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI (WB-DWI) in advanced prostate cancer.

    Physics in medicine and biology2025n=1182 influential citations

    <i>Objective</i>. Quantitative assessment of treatment response in advanced prostate cancer (APC) with bone metastases remains an unmet clinical need. Whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI (WB-DWI) provides two response biomarkers: total…
