Eligibility:
All Genders
18-100 years
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of 18F-FDG PET/CT and DWI WB-MRI in detection of distant metastasis of various cancers.

- As regard the MRI study, general contraindications including claustrophobia, MR-incompatible pacemakers and MR-incompatible heart valves.
- Patients whose MRI sequences were incomplete, low-quality and/or had no histopathological evidence of metastatic lesions were eliminated from the study.
- Low-quality or incomplete MRI included MRI exams with incomplete sequence(s), which is particularly common in elderly patients who are unable to tolerate the scan, or uncooperative patients who do not obey breathing instructions and motion artifacts that may impair images and lead to lower accuracy.
- Declined consent.
