MRI fat fraction imaging of nodal and bone metastases in prostate cancer

Abstract

• Characterisation and quantification of tissue fat on MRI can be used to provide information on disease processes. • Fat in bone and lymph nodes up until recently have not been exploited for diagnostic purposes or response monitoring in prostate cancer. • Fat imaging on MRI using Dixon/PDFF sequences has the potential to add clinical value in the future but prospective data is needed.
