Feasibility of diffusion-weighted imaging with DWIBS in staging Hodgkin lymphoma in pediatric patients: comparison with PET/CT.
The aim of the study was to evaluate feasibility of diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging with background body signal suppression (DWIBS) method in diagnosing Hodgkin lymphoma in pediatric patients and to compare it with 18F-FDG PET/CT as a gold standard. ⋯ Agreement between DWIBS and 18F-FDG PET/CT for detection and staging of malignant lymphoma is high. DWIBS can be used for the evaluation of pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma.
