Patient centered radiology: investigating 3 Tesla whole body MRI acceptance in cancer patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Whole body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) is a promising emerging imaging technology for detecting bone and soft tissue pathology, especially in the onco-hematological field. This study aims to evaluate cancer patients' experience of WB-MRI performed on a 3T scanner compared to other diagnostic total body examinations.

Material and method

In this prospective committee-approved study, patients completed a questionnaire in person (n = 134) after undergoing a WB-MRI scan to collect data on their physical and psychological reactions during the scan, the global satisfaction level, and preference for other types of MRI or computed tomography (CT), or positron emission tomography (PET/CT). Of all patients who had performed a CT or PET/CT the previous year, 61.9% h
