About this trial
This pilot phase I trial studies how well positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), fludeoxyglucose F-18 (18F-FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT), and whole body MRI work in finding extramedullary myeloid leukemia in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Extramedullary myeloid leukemia is a type of cancer found outside of the bone marrow and can be hard to detect with routine bone marrow monitoring, such as bone marrow aspirations. Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/MRI, 18F-FDG PET/CT and whole body MRI, may help find and diagnose extramedullary myeloid leukemia in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of extramedullary myeloid leukemia (EML)
Defined as increased fludeoxyglucose F-18 uptake on positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography and increased signal on T2 weighted imaging or diffusion weighted imaging and enhancement in soft tissue on whole body PET/magnetic resonance imaging. Estimates and 95% confidence intervals for the incidence of EML will be reported for each imaging modality based on the exact Clopper-Pearson method.
