Apparent diffusion coefficient measurements of bone marrow infiltration patterns in multiple myeloma for the assessment of tumor burden – a feasibility study

Abstract

The purpose of our study was to explore and compare the tumor burden of different bone marrow infiltration patterns and evaluate the feasibility of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value to identify patterns in multiple myeloma (MM).
