[Imaging methods in diagnosis of malignant lymphoma].
Modern diagnostic imaging has improved the evaluation of malignant lymphomas during the last years. Most of the invasive examinations were replaced by non-invasive tomographic imaging. The most important examinations for the evaluation of lymph nodes are nowadays ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The sequence of their use is depending on the region of examination. The immediate use of the method of choice for a certain body region instead of a protracted step-for-step diagnostic has led to a distinct shortening of diagnostics, diminishing of radiation dose exposure and cost reduction.
