Overview
CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma. Computerized tomography (CT) may be performed to detect metastasis and assess the local extent of extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma.
CT
- CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis and staging of extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma. Computerized tomography (CT) may be performed to:[1][2]
- Detect metastases
- Assess the local extent
- PET/CT helps staging of extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma and is a good marker for radiotherapy planing.[3]
- CT scan is a better choice in order to determine if tonsils are involved.
