From: 11C-acetate positron emission tomography is more precise than 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in evaluating tumor burden and predicting disease risk of multiple myeloma

Figure 3

Tumor burden detected by AC-PET and FGD-PET in NDMM patients. (A) The positive rate of marrow involvement detected by AC-PET was much higher than by FDG-PET, including diffuse and focal hypermetabolic lesions, diffuse lesions only, and focal lesions only. (B) More focal lesions were detected in AC-PET than FDG-PET. BM: bone marrow; the chi-square test was used to compare categorical data between AC-PET and FDG-PET; *P < 0.01.
