Abstract

This review focuses on the clinical use of $^{18}F$-FDG PET to evaluate multiple myeloma. $^{18}F$-FDG PET is useful for diagnosis, staging of multiple myeloma and differential diagnosis of myeloma related disease such as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance or plasmacytoma. For therapy response, $^{18}F$-FDG PET may be effective after chemotherapy for multiple myeloma and radiotherapy for plasmacytoma.
