The clinical utility of whole-body MRI in patients with renal cell carcinoma has not been evaluated yet.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Purpose: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of whole-body MRI and computed tomography (CT) in follow-up of patients with renal cell carcinoma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Material and Methods: In 28 patients with primary renal cell carcinoma a multislice CT scan of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, and a whole-body MRI were carried out as part of the postoperative follow-up. A combination of subsequent imaging studies and histology served as standard of reference.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: MRI demonstrated a significantly better diagnostic accuracy regarding musculoskeletal metastases compared with CT (97.7% vs 82%, P&lt;0.001). In contrast, CT was superior in the detection of pulmonary metastases (88.5% vs 71.9%, P&lt;0.001). Both methods had similar diagnostic performance regarding lymph node metastases (CT, accuracy 82.4%; MRI, accuracy 83.4%, P=0.25). The concordance of both modalities regarding N and M stage was excellent (Cohen's kappa 1.00). In two patients cerebral metastases were revealed by MRI, which led to a change in therapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion: At this stage, whole-body MRI cannot be considered an adequate replacement for CT in the follow-up of patients with renal cell carcinoma. Further significant improvement of lung MR protocols is necessary, as CT's sensitivity for pulmonary nodules is clearly superior. In contrast, the main advantage of whole-body MRI is its high diagnostic accuracy for musculoskeletal metastases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3109\/02841851003724846","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,5,19]],"date-time":"2010-05-19T04:05:04Z","timestamp":1274241904000},"page":"581-589","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Whole-body MRI in follow-up of patients with renal cell carcinoma"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Ivan","family":"Platzek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Dresden University of Technology, Dresden, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"Zastrow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Dresden University of Technology, Dresden, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pierre-Emanuel","family":"Deppe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Dresden University of Technology, Dresden, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marc-Oliver","family":"Grimm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Dresden University of Technology, Dresden, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manfred","family":"Wirth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Dresden University of Technology, Dresden, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Laniado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Dresden University of Technology, Dresden, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Stroszczynski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Dresden University of Technology, Dresden, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,1]]},"container-title":["Acta Radiologica"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.3109\/02841851003724846","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.3109\/02841851003724846","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T13:57:38Z","timestamp":1777384658000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.3109\/02841851003724846"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2010,6]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2010,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.3109\/02841851003724846"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3109\/02841851003724846","relation":{},"ISSN":["0284-1851","1600-0455"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0284-1851","type":"print"},{"value":"1600-0455","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2010,6]]}}}
