Résumé

L’IRM est désormais une technique alternative aux autres outils d’imagerie corps entier — incluant scintigraphies, TEP-TDM et TDM. Alternative d’abord par la possibilité désormais offerte de couvrir l’ensemble du corps humain en IRM avec des temps d’imagerie limités; alternative aussi et surtout car des outils d’imagerie fonctionnelle — incluant imagerie de diffusion et de perfusion — peuvent naturellement se combiner à cette large couverture anatomique, alternative enfin de par l’absence d’irradiation induite par I’IRM comparativement aux autres techniques citées plus haut. Nous détaillerons ici les progrès de l’instrumentation IRM qui ont rendu possible cette émergence, avant de citer les premières applications cliniques de ce nouvel outil.

Abstract

MRI now offers an alternative imaging technique that combines functional tools with expanded anatomical coverage. Technical progress in magnetic resonance has reduced acquisition times, allowed perfusion and diffusion imaging to be combined with whole body scanning, and made it possible to perform whole body scanning without irradiation. Here we detail the technical advances in whole body MRI and the emerging clinical applications resulting from this new imaging tool.
