FDG Detected changes in Brain Metabolism following Chemotherapy in Pediatric non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Potential neurocognitive dysfunction following chemotherapy is one of the most worrisome long-term outcomes especially in pediatric patients. Our objective was to evaluate therapy-related effects on brain metabolism in pediatric patients with non-CNS cancer treated with systemic chemotherapy, by analyzing brain data from serial whole body FDG PET/CT scans taken before and sequentially following therapy.
