Qualitative and Quantitative Inter-Observer Agreement of Multiparametric Whole-Body MRI in Staging and Follow-Up of Myeloma Patients.

ABSTRACT: Background: Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) is incorporated into international guidelines and recommendations for imaging patients with multiple myeloma. The aim of this study was to investigate inter-observer agreement of radiologists with different levels of expertise in reporting whole-body MRI performed along MY-RADS criteria in myeloma at baseline and in evaluating response to therapy to better certify the use of these criteria. Methods: A total of 52 patients with symptomatic myeloma at first presentation (47) or relapse (5) and planned for a new line of therapy were included. All patients completed baseline whole-body MRI within 1 month prior to starting treatment. A total of 25 patients were evaluated with WB-MRI within 1 month after therapy. Each scan
