HealthTree University: Imaging in Myeloma (Part 3 of 3)

Imaging is an important diagnostic tool. This week’s article with videos from HealthTree University covers some of the finer points of imaging, like exploring the latest techniques, other scans you may consider, when to use each type of imaging, and includes some guest lecture videos from our Myeloma Crowd Round Tables.

Below are some video excerpts from our HealthTree University curriculum to help you learn more about this important aspect of your disease.
