Abstract
Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is an uncommon subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that is closely related to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. ENKTL exhibits distinctive clinicopathological features among lymphomas and has poor overall survival in the absence of effective treatment. The timely and accurate diagnosis of ENKTL is crucial for effective treatment and a positive prognosis. 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) has emerged as an invaluable diagnostic modality for staging, curative effect evaluation, and prognosis analysis in ENKTL. We herein provide a comprehensive overview of the advances in the application of 18F-FDG PET/CT in patients with ENKTL.
期刊介绍:
The scope of AJNMMI encompasses all areas of molecular imaging, including but not limited to: positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), molecular magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, optical bioluminescence, optical fluorescence, targeted ultrasound, photoacoustic imaging, etc. AJNMMI welcomes original and review articles on both clinical investigation and preclinical research. Occasionally, special topic issues, short communications, editorials, and invited perspectives will also be published. Manuscripts, including figures and tables, must be original and not under consideration by another journal.
