The evaluation of peritoneal metastatic spread is still a domain of computed tomography. But evolving MR techniques including continuous table move (syngo TimCT) allow the comprehensive evaluation of large parts of the body with MRI and can now be considered an alternative to CT in daily clinical practice. Henrik J. Michaely, M.D. from Mannheim University, Germany, demonstrates the clinical value of these refined MR techniques in a case of a rare metastatic hepatoid carcinoma of the prostate.
