Objectives To illuminate the prognostic value of ADC (apparent diffusion coefficient), an important quantitative parameter of diffusion-weighted MRI, for multiple myeloma (MM). Methods A prospective single-center study which enrolled 114 consecutive newly diagnosed MM patients with baseline whole-bo...
