Overview

18F-FDG PET/CT may be helpful in the diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Findings on an 18F-FDG PET/CT suggestive of acute lymphoblastic leukemia include heterogenous uptake in lymph nodes and high metabolic activity.

Other Imaging Findings

18F-FDG PET/CT may be helpful in the diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Findings on an 18F-FDG PET/CT suggestive of acute lymphoblastic leukemia include:
