New progress in multiple myeloma treatment; MDCT has edge in detection
By Eric Barnes
Multiple myeloma is slowly giving way to new drugs that are extending and improving the quality of patients' lives. Better treatment options make accurate evaluation all the more important for patient management. And according to a new study, multidetector-row CT (MDCT) detects multiple myelomas slightly better than MRI, and significantly better than PET. Neither MRI nor MDCT can do the job alone, however.
