 ==Other Imaging Findings==
-===Colonoscopy===
+Other imaging findings for the diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma include
-Since mantle cell lymphoma may present a lymphomatous polyposis coli and colon involvement is common, colonoscopy is now considered a routine part of the evaluation.
+*PET (positron emission tomography) scan
-===Upper Endoscopy===
-Upper endoscopy and neck CT scan may be helpful in selected cases.
-===PET Scan===
-Generally of the whole body, shows a three-dimensional image of where previously injected radioactive glucose is metabolized at a rapid rate. Faster-than-average metabolism shows as a black area and indicates that cancer is likely present. Metabolism of radioactive glucose may give a false positive, particularly if the patient has exercised before the test.
-PET scans are much more effective when the information from them is integrated with that from a CT scan to show more precisely where the cancer activity is located and to more accurately measure the size of tumors.
