- Abstract
The article discusses the efficacy between the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the diffusion-weighted imaging with background body signal suppression (DWIBS) in the pre-treatment staging of multiple myeloma (MM) patients. It highlights the importance of an accurate staging to prevent the development of skeletal complications in patients with MM. It examines the influence of the changes of water diffusion in the bone marrow site to the quality of images in clinical trials.
