Do you need a CT scan or is an MRI enough? Why don't we use CT guided bone marrow biopsies?

VIEW TRANSCRIPT

LECTURE QUIZ

While assessing issues in the bone and bone marrow, an MRI scan is easier, faster, and can be done more frequently.

True

False

A PET-CT Scan means the CT looks for lesions while PET assesses lesions with active myeloma cells. This means the PET-CT is better for monitoring myeloma and finding active lesions.

True

False

A bone marrow biopsy is not done at the site of a myeloma tumor or plasmacytoma because...

It's risky to do a biopsy right after identification.

Further assessment must be done prior to a biopsy.

There could be different genetics in the myeloma diffused throughout the bone marrow besides myeloma.
