Abstract
Bone marrow malignancies are primarily subject for MR diagnostics, since MRI can directly display the bone marrow components. The role for MDCT is on the one hand to show the matrix of a bone tumor and on the other hand to evaluate the extension of osseous destructions and to assess the fracture risk. More and more whole-body exams are performed in patients with multifocal metastases or multiple myeloma.
