Overview
Chest, abdomen, and pelvis PET scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma. In some cases a Gallium Scan may be used instead of a PET scan.
Other Imaging
- Chest, abdomen, and pelvis PET scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma. In some cases a Gallium Scan may be used instead of a PET scan.
- Positron emission tomography (PET) is used to:[1]
- Detect small deposits that do not show on CT scan
- Monitor the response to treatment
- Detect recurrences
