Sažetak
The aim of this study was to compare FDG coincidence imaging with CT and other conventional diagnostic method, with 12 studies performed in 10 patients with lymphoma following chemotherpay and radiotherapy. FDG study was done for clarification of residual post-therapy abnormalities that fall under the category of unconfirmed/uncertain complete remission. Our data indicate that this non-ivasive metabolic imaging performed with "hybrid" coincidence technology is superior to CT in the post-therpay staging of lymphoma, since in 7 patients FDG scans found out more lesions than CT, in many patients unsuspetceted lesions were detected, and the modality of treatment was changed in all of those 7 patients.
