PET/CT-guided targeted bone marrow biopsy procedure. a-c 18F-FDG PET/CT findings. a The MIP image showed multifocal lesions in the region of bone and abdomen. b and c Axial CT image, axial PET/CT fusion image, showed high 18F-FDG uptake within the left ilium (white arrow), while no overt bony change was observed within the corresponding hypermetabolic region. d Procedure of biopsy target selection. e Puncture process using a 16G bone biopsy needle. f CT image showed the biopsy needle positioned within the left ilium lesion (white arrow). g Histological examination combined with immunohistochemical result confirmed a diagnosis of NHL (high-grade B cell lymphoma), suggesting further examination with C-MYC, Bcl-2, and Bcl-6 genetic testing
