MR imaging was performed in 19 patients with proven multiple myeloma. Both plain and Gd-DTPA enhanced in-phase and opposed-phase gradient-echo techniques were used (0.1 mmol Magnevist/kg body weight). Plain, opposed-phase imaging demonstrated more lesions than plain in-phase imaging (35 vs. 16); enhanced opposed-phase imaging demonstrated more lesions than plain opposed-phase and enhanced in-phase imaging (47 vs. 35 and 17 lesions). These results suggest that enhanced opposed-phase images which have a high contrast between normal and infiltrated bone marrow are especially suited for MR screening in multiple myeloma.
