Characterising spatial heterogeneity of multiple myeloma in high resolution by whole body magnetic resonance imaging: Towards macro-phenotype driven patient management.

Abstract excerpt

Diagnosis of patients suspected of multiple myeloma requires a combination of serological and biochemical tests, bone marrow aspirate (BMA) and/or bone marrow trephine (BMT) biopsies as well as complementary information provided by whole-body cross-sectional imaging studies. However, given the heterogeneous nature of multiple myeloma, discrepancies can arise between disease burden on trephine and extent of...
