Purpose: To perform a comparative analysis of the DWi-BS method vs CT and Bone Scintigraphy in the detection of malignant tumors and metastases. Material and methods. Whole-body DWI-BS examinations and scans of 12 patients with malignant tumors and metastases previously examined with CT and Bone Scintigraphy. Feasibility, Efficacy and Specificity Examinations of DWI-BS vs CT and Scintigraphy. Conclusion. The DWI-BS method is a non-invasive method that ensures patient safety, does not involve exposure to radiation, is affordable, can increase visibility in association with the administration of nutraceutical preparations, nanoparticles, liposomal products. The feasibility of the DWI-BS method was demonstrated in investigations of clinical scans of 12 patients with malignant tumors and metastases.
