Whole-body MRI versus an [18F]FDG-PET/CT-based reference standard for early response assessment and restaging of paediatric Hodgkin’s lymphoma: a prospective multicentre study

To compare WB-MRI with an [18F]FDG-PET/CT-based reference for early response assessment and restaging in children with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL).Fifty-one children (ages 10-17) with HL were included in this prospective, multicentre study. All participants underwent WB-MRI and [18F]FDG-PET/CT at early response assessment. Thirteen of the 51 patients also underwent both WB-MRI and [18F]FDG-PET/CT at restaging.
