Quarter-Century PET/CT Transformation of Oncology: Lymphoma

PET Clin. 2024 Apr;19(2):281-290. doi: 10.1016/j.cpet.2023.12.014.

Abstract

The clinical landscape of lymphomas has changed dramatically over the last 2 decades, including significant progress made in the understanding and utilization of imaging modalities and the available treatment options for both indolent and aggressive lymphomas. Since the introduction of hybrid PET/CT scanners in 2001, the indications of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT in the management of lymphomas have grown rapidly. In today's clinical practice, FDG PET/CT is used in successful management of the vast majority patients with lymphomas.
