While functional imaging with [18F]Fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography is a well-established imaging modality in most lymphoma entities, novel tracers addressing cell surface receptors, tumor biology, and the microenvironment are being developed. Especially, with the emergence of immuno-PET targeting surface markers of lymphoma cells, a new imaging modality of immunotherapies is evolving, which might especially aid in relapsed and refractory disease stages. This review highlights different new PET tracers in indolent and aggressive lymphoma subtypes and summarizes the current state of immuno-PET imaging in lymphoma.
