This study was performed to assess the diagnostic value
of PET/MR and DWI in the evaluation of nodal and
extranodal lymphoma. PET/MR is an emerging hybrid
technique that has already demonstrated very good
results for the diagnosis of malignancies in different
anatomical districts but up to now, only few data are
available in the literature about its application on
patients affected by lymphoma. Our initial results
demonstrated that, for both nodal and extranodal
disease, PET/MR is a highly promising technique and DWI
confirmed to be an essential tool to improve the
diagnostic work-up of this heterogeneous cancer group.
