Multiple myeloma is a rare cancer that develops in plasma cells, a type of white blood cell. It can affect bones, bone marrow, and other organs. Images of myeloma can help diagnose and monitor the disease. These images may include X-rays, MRI scans, and PET/CT scans. X-rays can show areas of bone damage, while MRI scans can provide detailed images of the bone marrow and soft tissues. PET/CT scans can help find areas of myeloma activity throughout the body. These images can help doctors assess the extent of the disease, guide treatment decisions, and monitor response to therapy.
