Characterizing bone marrow involvement in Hodgkin’s lymphoma by FDG-PET/CT

Purpose Fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emmission tomography combined with computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) is superior to iliac bone marrow biopsy (iBMB) for detection of bone marrow involvement (BMI) in staging of Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL). The present study aims to characterize the patterns and distribution of BMI in HL as determined by FDG-PET/CT.
