Abstract:
Morphological bone marrow evaluation is an integral component in staging patients with hematological malignancies. In acute leukemias or myelodysplastic syndromes cytologic examination is crucial since it allows precise analysis on the individual cell level. Histological examination of an iliac crest trephine biopsy is mandatory in malignant lymphomas because of the frequent nodular involvement of bone marrow in these diseases. In recent years magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) has been shown to be a sensitive method for detecting marrow infiltration in a variety of marrow diseases. In malignancies with focal marrow involvement, such as malignant lymphoma, MRT is today a useful complement to morphological bone marrow evaluation.
