Diffusion Weighted Image MRI in Assessment of Patients with Multiple Myeloma
Arwa Adel Mahmoud Hendy;
Abstract
• The bone marrow MR imaging pattern has been reported to have prognostic significance in patients with newly diagnosed MM, and a diffuse pattern has been shown to correlate with poor prognosis and advanced disease features.
• Adding quantitative diffusion weighted imaging to standard MR imaging protocols for MM can help identify more precisely this subgroup of patients who may require innovative treatment strategies and more aggressive regimens.
• Normal, focal, and diffuse MR imaging patterns of the bone marrow in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) have distinct ranges of apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) on diffusion weighted images (mean +_ standard deviation, 0.39 x 10¬-3 mm2/sec +\- 0.10, 1.09 x 10-3 mm2/sec +\- 0.21, and 0.76 x 10-3 mm2/sec +\- 0.12, respectively).
