^(18)F-Deoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in Multiple Myeloma

摘要

^(18)F-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography(^(18)F-FDG PET/CT)is a functional imaging modality.It has certain advantages over other imaging modalities,such as X-ray,CT,and magnetic resonance imaging,in multiple myeloma(MM).Moreover,both the International Myeloma Working Group and the British Society of Hematology recommend PET/CT as one of the imaging modalities for MM.However,many criteria for the application of PET/CT for evaluating MM in clinical practice have not been determined.Recently,there have been many new advances in the application of PET/CT in MM.This study was designed to review the recent advances in PET/CT for assessing MM.
