Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multiple myeloma (MM) remains a debilitating disease despite recent advances in diagnosis and treatment, with a 1:150 lifetime risk, higher incidences in elderly and black populations, and an 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 created new opportunities for improved patient care. New imaging techniques have made it possible to predict disease processes. Modern imaging has enabled the early diagnosis and treatment of patients with MM.
This field has already changed and will continue to change with the emergence of 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 will provide updates on novel diagnostic approaches for imaging in patients with MM.
