Residual masses do often present on posttreatment imaging in lymphoma. We conducted prospective study to evaluate diagnostic capabilities of CT, MRI and diffusion-weighted MRI (MRI-DWI) in differentiation residual tumors and non-active posttreatment masses in 40 lymphoma patients. MRI-DWI with visual analysis of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps was the most effective technique. Quantitative ADC analysis is a promising tool for differentiation of active and non-active residual masses in lymphoma.
