    Computed tomography (CT) aids in diagnosing multiple myeloma when initial bone imaging is unclear. This imaging technique is valuable for detecting the full extent of the disease, especially in patients with bone pain but normal radiographs.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Multiple myeloma often presents with typical symptoms and radiographic findings.
    • However, atypical presentations with normal or nonspecific radiographs can occur.
    • This necessitates advanced imaging for accurate diagnosis and staging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic value of computed tomography (CT) in patients with multiple myeloma.
    • To assess CT's utility in cases with atypical presentations or normal initial radiographs.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of medical records for 32 patients with confirmed multiple myeloma.
    • Analysis of computed tomography (CT) examinations performed on these patients.
    • Comparison of CT findings with clinical symptoms and radiographic results.

    Main Results:

    • CT provided confirmatory diagnostic information in all cases where lesions were visible on radiographs.
    • CT frequently revealed a more extensive disease burden than initially apparent on radiographs.
    • CT proved particularly useful in patients experiencing bone pain with normal or nonspecific radiographs.

    Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable tool for diagnosing multiple myeloma, especially in atypical cases.
    • CT enhances the assessment of disease extent when initial radiographs are inconclusive.
    • Its use is recommended for patients with bone pain and normal or nonspecific radiographic findings.
