MRI assessment of bone marrow involvement in Hodgkin disease and non-Hodgkin lymphoma

  • 1. Istituto Nazionale per lo Studio e la Cura dei Tumori, Milan (Italy)

Description

In order to evaluate the possible role of MRI in detecting lymphomatous marrow involvement, a MRI examination was performed in newly diagnosed patients with Hodgkin's disease (HD) and nonHodgkin lymphoma (NHL). From this the authors concluded that MRI should not be used as a replacement for bone marrow biopsies in HD and NHL, but rather as a complementary tool utilizing the panoramic view offered by MRI which permit to disclose focal areas of bone involvement different from the sacrum, thus not valuable with routine biopsies.
