2‐(fluorine‐18)fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose positron emission tomography in the detection and staging of malignant lymphoma

The authors undertook a prospective evaluation of the clinical value of 2‐fluoro [18‐]‐2‐deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET) in the detection and staging of malignant lymphoma compared with computed tomography (CT) and bone marrow biopsy (BMB).
