Abstract:
In recent years,PET-CT plays an important role in Hodgkin' s lymphoma (HL).It has emerged as the most accurate tool for staging,treatment monitoring,and response evaluation in HL.PET-CT has high sensitivity and specificity.It provides an opportunity to monitor the quality of response during treatment,permits separation of node from involved regions,and adds prognostic information.PET-CT has become integral to modern lymphoma management,but as a relatively new imaging technique it is still being studied and neither its full potential nor major limitations have been fully understood.The recent observations from clinical trials and clinical experiences with PET-CT in the 54th ASH annual meeting are discussed to explore its advantages and limitations.
