A Pilot Study of 18F-FLT PET/CT in Pediatric Lymphoma

Figure 3

18-year-old female with stage II Hodgkin lymphoma (patient 4) demonstrating increased uptake in a left prevascular lymph node on FDG PET/CT (a, b and e, f) with 18F-FDG SUV 3.0 and no uptake on 18F-FLT/CT (c, d and g, h). Follow-up 18F-FDG PET/CT performed three (3) months later (not shown) again showed evidence of increased metabolic activity in the prevascular region in the upper mediastinum with SUV of 3.1 and not significantly changed compared to the previous study, and no other focus of increased 18F-FDG uptake to suggest disease progression.
