Imaging of multiple myeloma: usefulness of MRI and PET/CT

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT, and MR
Bhasker KoppulaChristopher J Hanrahan

Abstract

Multiple myeloma is a heterogeneous hematologic disorder of plasma cells with varied bone marrow imaging appearances. With advancements in both treatment and use of advanced imaging over the last several decades, it is important for radiologists to recognize the imaging presentation of the disease and the staging implications of imaging. This paper reviews the staging as it relates to imaging, consensus recommendations for imaging, expected imaging appearances of myeloma, pitfalls, and complications associated with treatment that are demonstrable on imaging.

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Cancer Imaging

Imaging techniques, including CT and MR, have become essential to tumor detection, diagnosis, and monitoring. Here is the latest research on cancer imaging.
