Diagnostic brain-to-liver [18f]fdg uptake ratio predicts survival in multiple myeloma: A retrospective study
Higher brain-to-liver [¹⁸F]FDG uptake ratio (> 2.7) at diagnosis predicts better clinical outcomes in multiple myeloma. BLR is significantly associated with established clinical markers of tumor burden in multiple myeloma. These findings suggest that BLR is a feasible and reproducible metric with potential prognostic value in multiple myeloma.
