The role of FDG-PET in Hodgkin lymphoma
18-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) is currently the most valuable imaging technique in Hodgkin lymphoma. Since its first use in lymphomas in the 1990s, it has become the gold standard in the staging and end-of-treatment remission assessment...
