• The replacement of 3D T1 FSE by the 3D T1 GE mDixon as morphologic sequence to complement DWI drastically reduces the acquisition time of WB-MRI studies. • The 3D T1 GE mDixon sequence offers similar reproducibility of image readings compared with that of the 3D T1 FSE. • Differences in diagnostic accuracy are limited (+ 4%/+ 6% in favor of mDixon to detect node metastases; + 4%/+ 6% in favor of FSE to detect bone metastases/metastatic disease in a patient).
