2024年8月22日 · F-18 FDG uptake by the myeloma lesions corresponds to lytic bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas seen on CT. However, focal high FDG uptake in the bone may be considered a positive lesion even in the absence of osteolysis on CT.

In 2014, the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) updated the diagnosis of MM and established that >1 lytic lesion seen on computed tomography (CT), WBLDCT, or PET/CT, regardless of its detection or not on skeletal radiography, and >1 unequivocal (≥5 mm in size) bone marrow (BM) focal lesion (FL) on MRI fulfill the criteria for MM ...
Multiple Myeloma X Ray, Imaging Studies | The IMF
The appearance of a lytic lesion on an X-ray does not change following therapy, even if there is no longer any active myeloma there. X-ray provides low visualization of the spine and pelvis. X-ray cannot accurately depict the cause of lesions in myeloma. Because whole-body X-ray (WBXR) requires 20 separate films, the study is time-consuming.
