First seen May 16, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study tested whether a newer PET scan tracer, 18F-choline, can find more bone lesions than the standard 18F-FDG PET scan in people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Twenty patients received both types of PET scans plus an MRI to compare how many lesions each method detected. The goal is to improve initial staging and treatment monitoring with a single, more accurate imaging test.
