Unlike standard MRI, which typically uses a single imaging sequence to produce anatomical images, mpMRI employs multiple sequences that provide complementary information. For instance, T2-weighted imaging offers high-resolution anatomical detail, while DWI measures the diffusion of water molecules in tissue, which can help identify cancerous lesions. DCE-MRI assesses the vascularity of tissues by tracking the uptake and washout of contrast agents, which can indicate tumor angiogenesis.
