Imaging for Plasma Cell Dyscrasias: What, When, and How?

Abstract: Imaging plays a vital role in the diagnosis, response assessment, and follow-up of patients with plasma cell bone disease. The radiologic diagnostic paradigm has thus far evolved with developing technology and availability of better imaging platforms; however, the skewed availability of these imaging modalities in developed vis-à-vis the developing countries along with the lack of uniformity in reporting has led to a consensus on the imaging criteria for diagnosing and response assessment in plasma cell dyscra… Show more

“…Plasma cell disorders range from the spectrum of the mostly benign monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance to the intermediate smoldering multiple myeloma to the frankly malignant MM. 19 Imaging of bone lesions forms a major stay in the diagnosis and management of MM. The CRAB criteria: Hyper c alcemia, R enal insufficiency, A naemia and B one lesions—at least one or more bone lesions on X-Ray/CT/PET-CT—form the four pillars upon which a diagnosis is made in patients with clonal bone marrow plasma cells more than 10%.…”
