Overview
PET and Bone scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Other Imaging Findings
- Identify areas in the body that are affected by Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
- Help monitor response to treatment
- Detect recurrences
- Bone scan is used:
- To see if Non-Hodgkin lymphoma has spread to the bones
- If bone pain is present (may be caused by bone involvement)
- If alkaline phosphatase is increased
