## Overview[edit | edit source]

PET and bone scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

## Other Imaging Findings[edit | edit source]

### PET Scan[edit | edit source]

Indications

* For identification of areas in the body that are affected by non-Hodgkin lymphoma[1][2]
* To help monitor response to treatment
* For detection of recurrences

### Bone Scan[edit | edit source]

Indications

* To see if non-Hodgkin lymphoma has spread to the bones
* If bone pain is present (may be caused by bone involvement)
* If alkaline phosphatase is increased

### Multiple Gated Acquisition Scanning[edit | edit source]

* A multiple gated acquisition scan should be performed to check for left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of patients before starting treatment with anthracyclines.
