WB-DWI offers an alternative to SS for detection of
myeloma bone disease. This prospective study compared
extent of disease shown by WB-DWI and SS by body region
(measured by image scores) and correlated the imaging
burden of disease (measured by scores and ADC metrics)
with the pathological assessment of disease (measured by
serum paraprotein and bone marrow histology). WB-DWI
scores were significantly higher than SS scores per
patient and in every body region except the skull. WB-DWI
scores were higher in those with a high disease burden,
but there were no significant correlations between
imaging and pathological measures of disease.
