Role of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging for evaluation of diagnosed or clinically suspected post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders: a tertiary care center experience.

Conclusions: F-18 FDG PET/CT imaging is very beneficial in evaluation of PTLD, particularly in the detection of occult lesions missed on conventional imaging modalities and helped in upstaging the disease in a significant number of patients. Additionally F-18 FDG PET/CT imaging is also helpful in evaluation of clinically suspicious PTLD and can further assist in guiding biopsies for accurate histo-pathological diagnosis.
