Abstract and Aims
Beside FDG, there is an emerging role of non-FDG tracers for the evaluation of Multiple Myeloma at onset. This because it was proved that there may be a quote of low metabolic myelomas that may present a low FDG uptake, possibly resulting in an underestimation of the number of focal lesions.
This chapter aims to:
-
Discuss the causes of false negativity at FDG
-
Discuss the contribution of 11C-Methionine in Multiple Myeloma
-
Discuss the contribution of 11C-18F-Choline in Multiple Myeloma
