Article Synopsis
- Lymphoproliferative disorders, including lymphoma, can recur even years after treatment, so patients in remission need regular check-ups.
- There's debate over the use of imaging for these follow-ups, as traditional methods expose patients to harmful ionizing radiation, while whole-body MRI with diffusion-weighted imaging (WB-MRI-DWI) offers a radiation-free alternative.
- A study reviewing cases from 2010 to 2022 found WB-MRI-DWI highly effective for follow-ups, achieving 100% sensitivity and 98.6% specificity in detecting potential lymphoma relapses, although some false positives were noted.
