Animation - Diagnosing AML, AML-MRC, and tAML

This animation explains the tests that doctors use to diagnose acute myeloid leukemia (AML), AML with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC) and treatment-related AML (tAML). It describes the examination, blood tests, bone marrow tests, genetic tests, imaging tests, and other diagnostic interventions. These tests may be ordered to help identify what subtype of AML a person has and whether it has spread outside of the blood and bone marrow.
