Review Comparative Study
Whole body FDG-PET/CT for the assessment of bone marrow infiltration in patients with newly diagnosed lymphoma.
Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) and bone marrow biopsy are currently the common clinical examination of lymphoma infiltration. The aim of this research is to evaluate the value of PET-CT in diagnosis of bone marrow infiltration, clinical staging and pathological typing of lymphoma. ⋯ PET-CT is significant in detecting bone marrow infiltration in certain pathological types of lymphoma. However pathological inconsistencies still exist between bone marrow biopsy and PET-CT, thus PET-CT cannot completely replace biopsy.
