Is whole body low dose CT still necessary in the era of 18F-FDG PET/CT for the assessment of bone disease in multiple myeloma patients?

CONCLUSION: Low dose computed tomography co-registered PET has comparable performance to WBLDCT. If confirmed on a lager sample, these encouraging results suggest the possibility to use this multimodal hybrid imaging as the only method for MM evaluation, rather than both exams, providing both morphologic and metabolic information in one session with impact on patient compliance, health care spending and especially radiation exposure.
