Multiple myeloma is a heterogeneous bone marrow cancer. Assessment of changes in mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADCmean) is helpful for evaluating treatment response but has not been feasible for the whole skeleton due to the time-consuming nature of manual segmentation. Whole-skeleton and per-station ADCmean were quantified from whole-body MRI using automated segmentation by an uncertainty-aware nnU-Net in 30 patients with plasma cell disorders and compared against the manual segmentation by radiologists. No differences were observed in whole-skeleton or per-station ADCmean when using the automatic and manual segmentations. Further investigation is required in a larger dataset, but initial results are promising.
