MRI Diagnostics of the Fingers: Current Developments and Clinical Relevance
Thomas Bayer, Christoph Lutter, Rolf Janka, Michael Uder
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent method for visualizing the complex anatomical structures of the fingers. The high diagnostic standard is based on numerous recent technical developments to improve soft tissue differentiation and detail recognition, and includes time-resolved functional imaging. This literature review highlights the current status of MRI in finger diagnostics.
Value of Spectral CT Techniques for the Assessment of Bone Marrow Infiltration in Multiple Myeloma
Yasmin Fede Melzer, Jennifer Erley, Inka Ristow et al.
Multiple myeloma is the second most common hemato-oncological malignancy, characterized by the clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells and bone marrow infiltration. The degree of bone marrow infiltration, which is crucial for diagnosis and treatment initiation, is determined through biopsy. While MRI and CT are considered standard imaging methods for detecting focal lesions and osteolytic changes, CT has limitations, particularly in detecting diffuse infiltration patterns without osteolysis. Spectral CT techniques offer a promising alternative for assessing bone marrow infiltration through material decomposition.
