Comparison of Assesment of Imaging Response with Magnetic Resonance (MR) and 18fdg-PET/TC in Multiple Myeloma (MM). Single Centre Experience

Introduction: Conventional radiography remains the “gold standard” technique for bone involvement assessment in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Newer imaging modalities such as whole-body Magnetic Resonance (MR) and 18FDG-PET/CT have emerged as more sensitive techniques than routine skeletal survey in the detection of bone involvement in the diagnostic and follow up of patients with MM. The advantages and disadvantages of MR and 18FDG-PET/CT are discussed.
