[Abstract] Multiple myeloma (MM) is a common hematologic malignancy with varying outcomes and survival rates ranging from a few months to more than ten years. Accurate prognosis assessment and risk stratification are essential for the individualized treatment of MM. In recent years, MRI, as the most sensitive imaging technique for detecting bone marrow infiltration in MM, has been widely used in the research of MM prognosis prediction. In this paper, the research value of different MRI techniques in predicting the prognosis of MM is emphasized, and some references are provided for future research and clinical work.
