<b>Results</b>: Non-responders demonstrated significantly greater AML redundancy (13.16 ± 1.72 vs. 9.96 ± 1.99 mm, <i>p</i> < 0.001), larger PML projection (18.5 ± 3.78 vs. 13.65 ± 3.8 mm, <i>p</i> = 0.006), and lower AML/PML projection ratio (0.80 ± 0.15 vs. 1.34 ± 0.45, <i>p</i> = 0.007). Here, PML is linked to acute myeloid leukemia.
