Abstract：Position emission tomography detects the uptake of tracer to reflect the functional and metabolic status of cells and tissues in order to further diagnose malignant and benign lesions. Whole body diffusion-weighted imaging is a new technique of functional magnetic resonance imaging. It has a broad prospect in screening lesions and evaluation of cancer staging. As two kinds of techniques that can be used for whole body imaging, it is necessary to make clear the advantages and reasonable choices of each of them. This article reviews the diagnostic value and research progress of the two in tumor and inflammatory diseases.
