Diffusion weighted imaging's apparent diffusion coeffiecient (ADC) has been shown to be a potential imaging biomarker for monitoring treatment response in multiple myeloma. However, in most instances, a mono- exponential fitting model is used to assess temporal changes. In this work, we investigated the Gaussian and non-Gaussian fitting algorithms and their respective quantitative biomarkers for assessing response in multiple myeloma using whole body diffusion weighted imaging.
