Imaging in malignant lymphoma, Jet Quarles van Ufford
The last decades have shown remarkable advances in radiology and nuclear medicine. With the continuous technological developments in imaging it is the role of both the radiologist and the nuclear medicine physician to provide adequate information concerning each modality and assist the clinicians in reconsideration of current guidelines in imaging. For example, 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose ([18F]-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has become an important tool for diagnosis, staging, prognosis and evaluation of treatment response in oncology. This thesis addresses several aspects of imaging patients diagnosed with malignant lymphoma at initial presentation by studying the value of PET, PET integrated with computed tomography (PET-CT) and whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including diffusion weighted imaging (DWI).
