title: Role of Structural Imaging in Lymphoma.
abstract: The lymphomas, Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, are among the most common types of cancer in the United States. Imaging plays an important role in the evaluation of patients with lymphoma, because it aids in treatment planning and in the determination of prognosis. Structural imaging entails the assessment of morphologic features of normal tissues and organs of the body and of malignant lesions within these structures, and plays a major role in the noninvasive assessment of lymphoma. This article reviews cross-sectional structural imaging modalities with an emphasis on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, with some mention of ultrasonography.
