Diagnostic and prognostic importance of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/computed tomography in primary extranodal and atypically presenting lymphomas
The significant increase in SUV values with advancing age and larger lesion size, along with the high sensitivity of 18 F-FDG PET/CT in detecting distant organ involvement such as bone marrow, highlights its potential to reflect tumor behavior. The observed sex-related metabolic differences further emphasize the need for individualized imaging strategies.
