[Metabolic imaging in lymphoid hemopathies]

Metabolic imaging in lymphoid hemopathies. 18F-FDG positron emission tomography evaluates the metabolism of tumours and has become unavoidable in the management of lymphoid hemopathies. This technique allows precise staging of lymphomas at diagnosis and provides a standardized evaluation of therapeutic response, even early after treatment onset, using the Lugano classification. It has also demonstrated some prognostic value in myelomas. It has gradually opened the way for more and more personalised therapeutic approaches in lymphoid hemopathies.
