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:
- Heterogeneous uptake in lymph nodes[1]
- High metabolic activity seen in tumor/cancer cells[2]
