Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) is an increasingly important tool in pediatric oncology. Optimized WB-MRI protocols allow for abbreviated imaging of young patients with excellent tissue contrast/resolution and without ionizing radiation exposure. Recent data suggest a role for WB-MRI in pediatric cancer staging, cancer predisposition syndrome (CPS) surveillance and evaluation for chemotherapy-related osteonecrosis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of WB-MRI in these populations.
