Abstract

FDG PET/CT has become a standard imaging in the staging and response assessment of FDG-avid lymphoma. Accurate interpretation of scan findings is crucial in guiding most effective treatment. It is important to recognise normal variants and potential artefacts and pitfalls in lymphoma FDG PET/CT to achieve optimal results. These potential limitations include the issues applicable to FDG PET/CT in general as well as situations more relevant to lymphoma and its locations.
