Abstract
Extramedullary multiple myeloma can develop in patients with multiple myeloma, at the time of relapse, especially in those treated with allogenic bone marrow transplant. PET/MR imaging provides the ability for the detection of osseous multiple myeloma and extramedullary lesions in a single examination. It can also be helpful in monitoring response to therapy and predicting clinical outcome based on changes in metabolic activity.
