Prognostic significance of diffuse increased fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake within the reticuloendothelial system in lymphoma patients
This study highlighted that diffuse increased splenic <sup>18</sup>F-FDG uptake in lymphoma patients was closely associated with inflammation, whereas diffuse BM uptake was likely attributable to BM infiltration rather than inflammatory changes. Furthermore, both parameters held promise as prognostic indicators for patients with aggressive lymphoma.
