Whole body magnetic resonance imaging (WBMRI) is gaining
ground for initial staging and monitoring treatment
response of patients with multiple myeloma. However,
most of the reported WBMRI protocols are based on
anatomical MRI sequences such as pre-contrast T1
weighted, T2-weighted and short tau inversion recovery
(STIR). In this study, the diagnostic performance of
multiple anatomical and functional whole body MRI
sequences for detection of myelomatous bone marrow
involvement and its impact on Durie-Salmon PLUS staging
is investigated.
