Evaluation of STIR-HASTE whole body MRI for the initial staging of paediatric lymphoma: A correlation with PET/CT
Introduction: Optimized treatment of lymphoma is dependent upon disease stage. Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are staged using the Ann Arbor classification system based on a combination of clinical symptoms and imaging assessment of extent of lymph node involvement. CT has a reported sensitivity and specificity for identification for diseased nodal sites of 87.5% and 85.6%...
متن کاملWhole-body FDG-PET imaging for staging of Hodgkin's disease and lymphoma.
UNLABELLED Accurate staging of Hodgkin's disease (HD) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is important for treatment management. In this study, the utility of 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) whole-body PET was evaluated as an imaging modality for initial staging or restaging of 7 HD and 11 NHL patients. METHODS Whole-body PET-based staging results were compared to the patient's clinical st...
متن کاملWhole-body diffusion-weighted MRI for staging of women with cancer during pregnancy: a pilot study
Methods Twenty patients diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy underwent WB-DWI additional to conventional imaging in this prospective single centre study. Reproducibility of WB-DWI between 2 readers was evaluated using Cohen’s statistics and accuracy was compared to conventional imaging for assessing primary tumour site, nodal metastases and visceral metastases. Histopathology after surgery or...
متن کاملWhole-body MRI including diffusion-weighted imaging compared to CT for staging of malignant melanoma
BACKGROUND Whole-body (WB) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), has been increasingly used for the detection of metastatic disease. PURPOSE To assess the value of WB MRI including DWI compared to computed tomography (CT) for staging of malignant melanoma. A second aim was to assess the value of DWI in addition to conventional MR sequences for the detec...
متن کاملPatient experience of whole body diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) for staging myeloma
Aim WB-MRI provides a fast, highly sensitive assessment of disease burden in myeloma. The 2015 International Myeloma Working Group consensus statement recommends WB-MRI for staging asymptomatic myeloma and for workup of solitary bone plasmacytoma. The technique is noisy, employs whole body surface coils, and takes longer than a standard MRI spine. We assessed patient experience of WB-MRI and id...
