  Objective: Two patient groups were studied for evaluation of detection efficacy of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (18F-FDG PET/MRI). The first group was dedicated to assess the possible early bone lesions of those patients who had been diagnosed with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance/smouldering multiple myeloma (MGUS/SMM). In the second group, the detection sensitivity of the PET/CT and PET/MRI for bone lesions was compared to each other in patients with symptomatic plasmacytic myeloma (PCM). Methods: 14 patients with MGUS/SMM and 27 patients with PCM were enrolled in this study. Initially, all patients underwent an 18F-FDG PET/CT examination and it was followed by a PET/MRI imaging. Results: No bone lesion was detected with PET/CT and PET/MRI in patients .. Read More»
