From: Is it sufficient to evaluate bone marrow involvement in newly diagnosed lymphomas using 18F-FDG PET/CT and/or routine iliac crest biopsy? A new approach of PET/CT-guided targeted bone marrow biopsy

Fig. 5

A patient who was suspected of having a lymphoma based on 18F-FDGPET/CT findings. Both diagnosis and staging were completed through PET/CT-guided targeted bone marrow biopsy in one procedure. The iliac crest biopsy was negative. a MIP image showed high 18F-FDG uptake within lesions in multiple retroperitoneal lymph nodes, spleen, and isolated left ilium. b and c PET/CT image showed high 18F-FDG uptake (SUVmax 3.38) within the left ilium, while no abnormality was observed on corresponding CT image (arrow). d CT image showed the biopsy needle positioned within the left ilium lesion (arrow). e Histological examination combined with immunohistochemical result confirmed a diagnosis of DLBCL
