[Abstract] With the continuous development of society, the incidence of cancer is increasing year by year. Improving the early detection rate of lesions is helpful for clinicians to formulate effective diagnosis and treatment plans, which is of great significance to improve the survival rate and quality of life of cancer patients. Whole body-magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) has great advantages in early detection of tumor lesions and screening of tumor high-risk population. WB-MRI has no ionizing radiation and high resolution of soft tissue, and it can make up for the disadvantages of high radiation dose and low soft tissue resolution in positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), and has been verified in practical application. It can be used in early tumor lesion detection, imaging diagnosis, tumor clinical staging and therapeutic effect evaluation. At the same time, the bone destruction of metastatic bone tumor and the bone marrow infiltration of hematological tumor can be detected out. Through reviewing a large number of literatures, the author found that WB-MRI has the advantages of high accuracy and sensitivity in the detection of hematologic tumors and bone metastases as well as the screening of tumor high-risk groups. To sum up, this paper reviews the clinical application progress of WB-MRI in the detection of respiratory system tumors, digestive system tumors, hematologic tumors and bone metastases as well as the screening of tumor high-risk population.
