[Abstract] Objective: The technical feasibility and improvements of whole-body diffusion weighted imaging (WBD) on 3.0 T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) will be summarized in this paper. Meanwhile, the clinical diagnostic value will be analyzed.Materials and Methods: The Pubmed and Medline databases were searched for all English original articles published between 1990 and February 2015. The Wanfang database was searched for all Chinese original articles published between 1990 and February 2015.Results: Two studies discussed the technical improvements, and 9 papers researched on the clinical use on tumor detecting.Conclusion: Whole-body diffusion weighted imaging is a newly developed technology that can get "PET" like images. It's economical without ionizing radiation. It is conceivable that with the current pace of imaging improvement, the technique may soon be equally successful at 3.0 T. There is emerging evidence that whole-body MRI may be a solution to current unmet needs in cancer staging.
