title: Imaging of Multiple Myeloma.
abstract: Multiple myeloma is the most common bone malignancy. Imaging plays an important role in identifying the extent of the disease, disease process, guiding biopsies, and diagnosing associated spinal and intracranial complications. Multiple myeloma and related plasma cell proliferative disorders have a diverse set of clinicopathologic findings and on neuroimaging present unique and diverse findings from the disease and from complications of the disease and treatment, which are valuable for clinicians and radiologists.
