Overview

CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis and Staging of diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

CT scan

CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of diffuse large B cell lymphoma[1]. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan is now recommended as the gold standard for staging DLBCL patients. PET/CT has high Sensitivity for nodal and extranodal sites and is superior to contrast enhanced CT, although Contrast CT is usually done before PET/CT in practice.
