Overview
Chest, abdominal, and/or pelvic CT scan is generally performed to evaluate the extent and spread of MALT lymphoma.[1] If the disease is limited to the stomach (which is assessed with computed tomography), then 70-80% of patients will have a complete regression on treatment with antibiotic eradication of H. pylori.[2]
