“…Fifteen years after the introduction of CT, a prospective analysis of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma showed that while CT had a critical influence on disease stage, lymphography uniquely contributed to patient care by upstaging eight of 168 cases (313). Progressive technologic improvements in CT never overcame the complementary nature of lymphography and CT in the assessment of lymphoma, but the introduction of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET scanning and the comparability of its results to those of lymphography (314) brought an end to the use of an otherwise superb, albeit mildly invasive, diagnostic test (315). Over the past 10 years, FDG PET/CT has emerged as the primary tool in lymphoma assessment (316).…”

Computed tomography (CT) has had a profound effect on the practice of medicine. Both the spectrum of clinical applications and the role that CT has played in enhancing the depth of our understanding of disease have been profound. Although almost 90 000 articles on CT have been published in peer-reviewed journals over the past 40 years, fewer than 5% of these have been published in Radiology. Nevertheless, these almost 4000 articles have provided a basis for many important medical advances. By enabling a deepened understanding of anatomy, physiology, and pathology, CT has facilitated key advances in the detection and management of disease. This article celebrates this breadth of scientific discovery and development by examining the impact that CT has had on the diagnosis, characterization, and management of a sampling of major health challenges, including stroke, vascular diseases, cancer, trauma, acute abdominal pain, and diffuse lung diseases, as related to key technical advances in CT and manifested in Radiology.

“…between FDG-PET and lymphoangiography in patients with negative infradiaphragmatic CT scans. 1,9 In addition, multiple retrospective studies have shown that the incorporation of PET into treatment planning for lymphoma leads to significant alterations in treatment volume. [10][11][12] As a result, the inclusion of PET/CT in treatment planning is now standard practice; FDG-PET is mandatory for INRT and ideal for the application of ISRT.…”

“…On the other hand, FDG-PET has been shown to be roughly equivalent to lymphangiography in HD staging. 114 Not surprisingly, this improved accuracy in staging lymphomas with PET-CT over conventional anatomic imaging has made functional imaging a cornerstone in this disease entity. [115][116][117] Since most lymphomas are highly FDG-avid, PET-CT's ability to show form (anatomy) and function (metabolism) is the ideal modality for early assessment of response and routine surveillance.…”
