Description

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) accounts for 10.9% of all malignant lymphoma in China. About 90% of HL originates from the lymph nodes. The involved lymph nodes are usually symmetrical. HL seldom involves extranodal tissues. HL is one of the curable tumors and sensitive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This article aims to improving the knowledge of the value of medical imaging methods in diagnosis and treatment of HL by reviewing the present state of CT, MRI, 67Ga and PET or PET/CT in imaging of HL.
