Abstract
The Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is a functional and metabolic imaging modality with high sensitivity and accuracy for staging, restaging, and evaluation of response to treatment in Non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin lymphoma patients. Objective and accurate evaluation of treatment response in interim (iPET) and end of treatment (ePET) PET/CT is one of the most important parameters of patient management. In this review, standardization studies used in the evaluation of treatment response with PET/CT in lymphomas, the importance of iPET and ePET in patient management, metabolic tumor markers and pitfalls that can be followed in PET/CT after treatment were evaluated. © 2021 Nuclear Medicine Seminars.
