NCIt related terms : Magnetic Resonance Whole-Body Diffusion-Weighted Imaging;
NCIt definition : A non-ionizing radiation imaging modality for quantitative assessment of disease burden
and therapy response. WB-DWI uses the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement
to detect and quantify disease. ADC is influenced by tissue microarchitecture and
may be altered in a disease state.;
