title: Current Indications, Techniques, and Imaging Findings of Stem Cell Treatment and Bone Marrow Transplant.
abstract: The role of stem cell therapy in the treatment of hematologic and nonhematologic conditions is ever increasing. A thorough knowledge of the applications of stem cells and transplant physiology is essential for understanding the imaging manifestations. Stem cell imaging includes molecular imaging, and diagnostic and interventional radiology. It is possible to make a diagnosis of various complications and diseases associated with stem cell transplant. This article presents a simplified overview of stem cell applications and techniques with focus on hematopoietic stem cell transplant imaging.
