Closed
DWSARC: Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging In Pediatric Sarcomas

Study goal:

To estimate the ability of the whole body diffusion weighted MRI (WB DWI) to correctly identify pediatric sarcoma patients with and without bone/bone marrow and soft-tissue metastases at the time of diagnosis. 

To determine the correlation between changes in primary pediatric sarcoma 18-F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) and average DWI apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values from baseline (pre-treatment) to just prior to local control.
