- Abstract
The article provides information on a study that investigated retrospectively the correlation between sensitivity of 8F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and pathologic diagnoses based on the World Health Organization classification system. It assessed and compared the sensitivity of 8F-FDG-PET and gallium-67 scintigraphy with respect to their ability to identify disease involvement in each histologic subtype of lymphoma. It describes methodology used in the study.
