Overview

Chest, abdomen, and pelvis PET scans may be helpful in the diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Other Imaging

• Chest, abdomen, and pelvis PET scans may be helpful in the diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma.

• Positron emission tomography (PET) is used to detect:

• small deposits that do not show on CT scan
• help monitor response to treatment
• detect recurrences

• In some cases a Gallium Scan may be used instead of a PET scan
