Multiple myeloma is a common hematologic malignancy of plasma cells. Differentiating multiple myeloma from the precursor stages of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and smoldering multiple myeloma is very important because the treatment approach is different for each. The diagnosis is mainly clinical, while the role of imaging is confined to the staging process, assessing response to therapy, and monitoring for disease progression. In this article, we examine the role of different imaging modalities in patients with multiple myeloma.

Imaging Studies IV: Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Introduction:Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can include a specialized imaging technique of the urinary system known as Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU). This radiation-free technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images with the help of a computer. MRU is particularly effective for visualizing fluid-filled structures like the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.Applications of MRI in the Genitourinary SystemKidneys and Ureters: MRI detects tumors, cysts,...
