Overview
There are no specific MRI scan findings associated with MGUS. However, MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications and differentiate between various patterns of multiple myeloma, which include normal focal lesions, variegated/salt-and-pepper pattern and diffuse disease in the absence of bone destruction.
