Case in brief
A 72-year-old man with recurrent extranodal marginal-zone B-cell lymphoma underwent dynamic long-axial-field-of-view 18 F-FDG PET/CT. The imaging revealed extensive recurrent disease and also showed delayed uptake and excretion from the left kidney, indicating impaired renal function. This functional assessment influenced the patient's treatment management, demonstrating the utility of this imaging technique in oncology.
Diagnostic / clinical pearl
Dynamic long-axial-field-of-view 18 F-FDG PET/CT can provide valuable functional renal information that may impact treatment decisions in oncology.
