Multiple Myeloma : A Review of Imaging Features and Radiological Techniques

الملخص EN

The recently updated Durie/Salmon PLUS staging system published in 2006 highlights the many advances that have been made in the imaging of multiple myeloma, a common malignancy of plasma cells.

In this article, we shall focus primarily on the more sensitive and specific whole-body imaging techniques, including whole-body computed tomography, whole-body magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission computed tomography.

We shall also discuss new and emerging imaging techniques and future developments in the radiological assessment of multiple myeloma.
