Abstract:
For initial staging and at end of treatment to document remission status, PET is the standard imaging modality. Interim scanning remains investigational. Surveillance PET is not beneficial in the majority of patients. PET has also been used to predict outcome in the pre-autologous transplant setting. PET in the pre-allogeneic setting has a less established benefit. There is limited data on its use after transplant.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
