Overview
X-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma PMID:24614435. Findings on X-ray suggestive of multiple myeloma include punched out bony lesions, generalized osteopenia, and hair-on-end appearance.[1]
X Ray
- Simple radiography is the current gold standard for the initial diagnosis and evaluation of relapses of multiple myeloma.[1]
- The long bones and the spine must always be evaluated while the evaluation of other bones merit consideration based on the patient's symptoms.[1]
- A plain film skeletal survey is essential in not only the diagnosis of multiple myeloma, but also in assessing response, and pre-empting potential complications (e.g. pathological fracture). A typical skeletal survey consists of the following films:[1]
- The vast majority of lesions seen on plain radiography are purely lytic, sharply defined/punched out with endosteal scalloping when abutting cortex. The lesions are sclerotic in only 3% of patients.[1]
- Shown below are images depicting the involvement of skull and spinal cord respectively in a case of multiple myeloma.
-
X ray showing hair on end appearance. -
X ray spine showing collapsed vertebrae. -
X ray spine showing increased space between 2 vertebrae suggestive of possible malignancy.
