Fig. 6From: 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 biopsyA patient with suspected lymphoma involvement in multiple areas of bone marrow, liver, spleen, and lymph nodes. She received targeted biopsy for diagnosis and staging. a MIP image showed high 18F-FDG uptake within lesions in the bone marrow, liver, spleen, and lymph nodes. b and c Axial PET/CT image showed high 18F-FDG uptake (SUVmax 17.34) within the left ilium, and abnormality on the 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. f MIP of follow-up 18F-FDG PET/CT at the end of chemotherapy showed no hypermetabolic lesions (complete response)Back to article page
