Overview

PET and bone scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Other Imaging Findings

PET Scan

Indications

  • For identification of areas in the body that are affected by non-Hodgkin lymphoma[1][2]
  • To help monitor response to treatment
  • For detection of recurrences

Bone Scan

Indications

  • To see if non-Hodgkin lymphoma has spread to the bones
  • If bone pain is present (may be caused by bone involvement)
  • If alkaline phosphatase is increased

Multiple Gated Acquisition Scanning

  • A multiple gated acquisition scan should be performed to check for left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of patients before starting treatment with anthracyclines.
