Background And Objectives: The last few years have been crucial in defining the most appropriate way to quantitatively assess [F]FDG PET images in Multiple Myeloma (MM) patients to detect persistent tumor burden. The visual evaluation of images complements the assessment of Measurable Residual Disease (MRD) in bone marrow samples by multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) or next-generation sequencing (NGS). The aim of this study was to quantify MRD by analyzing quantitative and texture [F]FDG PET features.
