Comparative Study
Diagnostic performance of 18F-FDG PET/CT and whole-body MRI before and early after treatment of multiple myeloma: a prospective comparative study.
To determine the diagnostic accuracy of WB-MRI and 18F-FDG PET/CT in detecting infiltration pattern, disease activity, and response to treatment in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). ⋯ WB-MRI is more sensitive than 18F-FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis of MM before treatment; however, 18F-FDG PET/CT is more specific than WB-MRI in detecting residual involvement in treated patients.
