ABSTRACT

Myeloma is the most common primary bone malignancy and one of the most common hematologic malignancies. Research on myeloma constantly produces new information on genetic factors, imaging techniques, and treatment complications among others that is of use to patients, referring physicians, and radiologists. This update emphasizes new developments regarding imaging techniques for diagnosis, staging, and follow-up of myeloma patients. Advances in whole body radiography, whole body computed tomography, whole body magnetic resonance imaging, and whole body nuclear techniques (including sestamibi and positron emission tomography) are discussed.
