Other Imaging Studies
There seems to no concrete consensus about the usefulness of PET/CT scan in lymphomas. However, in some studies it has been shown that it may be helpful in the staging and treatment response assessment of mantle cell lymphoma, which is considered a fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid tumor and shows activity on the PET scan.[1]
