Clinical Trial: EVALUATION OF OPTIMISED WHOLE-BODY MRI EXAMINATIONS INCORPORATING "PSEUDO-SCANNER" SEQUENCES (ZTE, "ZERO ECHO TIME" AND LAVA FLEX) FOR THE DETECTION OF BONE LESIONS IN MULTIPLE MYELOMA

U.S., May 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06988020) titled 'EVALUATION OF OPTIMISED WHOLE-BODY MRI EXAMINATIONS INCORPORATING "PSEUDO-SCANNER" SEQUENCES (ZTE, "ZERO ECHO TIME" AND LAVA FLEX) FOR THE DETECTION OF BONE LESIONS IN MULTIPLE MYELOMA' on May 15.

Brief Summary: Recent work by Lecouvet et al. (2024) has confirmed the diagnostic performance of pseudo-CT sequences for detecting osteolytic lesions. Their integration into whole body MRI (WB MRI) could transform the diagnostic approach to MM, by allowing a combined assessment of bone marrow involvement, tissue viability and osteolysis, during a single non-irradiating imaging examination. Since the preliminary work mentioned above, optimiz...
