Overview

PET and Bone scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Other Imaging Findings

• PET scan is used to:

• 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
