Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) and 67Ga scan are superior to computed tomography (CT) in the detection of recurrence of lymphoma because identification of tumor viability as opposed to simple visualization of a mass is essential for these applications. Herein, we reported a case of relapsed Hodgkin’s disease, in which FDG PET and 67Ga scan detected the recurrent tumor nine months earlier than CT. Besides, FDG PET provided more information than 67Ga scan for nodal identification at para-aortic region.
氟-18去氧葡萄糖正子斷層攝影與鎵-67掃描對淋巴癌復發的偵測優於電腦斷層攝影,因為其形像的獲取是針對腫瘤活性而非單純腫塊大小。在此我們報告一個何杰金氏瘉復發的病例,其中正子斷層攝影與鎵-67掃描對於何杰金氏病復發的偵測有九個月早於電腦斷層攝影。此外,正子斷層攝影對於主動旁淋巴結侵犯與否的確比鎵-67掃描提供更多的資訊。
