Abstract

F-18-FDG PET is an established functional imaging modality for the evaluation of human disease. Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) is another rapidly evolving functional imaging modality that can be used to evaluate oncologic and nononcologic lesions throughout the body. The information provided by F-18-FDG PET and DWI can be complementary, because the 2 methods are based on completely different biophysical underpinnings. This article will describe the basic principles, clinical applications, and limitations of DWI. In addition, the available evidence that correlates and compares F-18-FDG PET and DWI will be reviewed.
