Role of PET/CT in initial evaluation of lymphoma patients
Abstract Background Accurate radiologic assessment of treatment response in lymphoma patients is important to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and consequently predict the relapse; the value of PET/CT for post-treatment prognosis prediction has been recently investigated. The aim of this stud...
