Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multiple myeloma (MM) remains a debilitating disease despite recent advances in diagnosis and treatment with 1:150 lifetime risk, higher incidence in the elderly and black population, and approximately 10-year life expectancy after diagnosis in the United States. Advances in imaging technology with multi-slice CTs, high-resolution 3T MRIs, and state-of-the-art CT, MRI, and PET/CT techniques have revolutionized the diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders, including MM, and provided us with new opportunities for improved patient care. New imaging techniques have made it possible to predict disease processes. Modern imaging has created an opportunity for the early diagnosis and treatment of patients with MM.
This field has already changed and will continue changing with novel approaches such as radiomics, machine learning, and quantitative analysis using multiparametric imaging. All these new emerging diagnostic approaches are advocating the idea of precision and personalized medicine. This Special Issue aims to provide updates on novel diagnostic approaches for imaging in patients with MM.
