Utility of F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET-CT scan in detecting bone marrow involvement in lymphoma.

Background & Objectives: Evaluation of bone marrow infiltration in lymphoma is usually done by bone marrow biopsy (BMB).

Methods: Treatment-naïve lymphoma patients underwent both F-FDG PET/CT scan and BMB before treatment initiation.
