Overview
Other imaging studies for polycythemia vera include PET scan, which helps to detect metastasis in bone marrow and to follow up medical treatment.[1]
PET scan
Positron emission tomography (PET) scan can be done to assess for hypermetabolic activity in bone marrow, lymph nodes, and other organs.[1] PET scan can help diagnose an underlying malignancy associated with polycythemia vera, such as lymphoma. Of note, a PET scan is not standard of care in patients with polycythemia vera but can be of diagnostic utility if other imaging modalities, such as CT scan, are nondiagnostic.
