Abstract：
The main finding that 18F-FDG PET imaging can reveal in patients with leukemias is the presence of bone marrow (BM) infiltration in both acute or chronic forms. This ability can influence and guide the use of BM biopsy but also assess to therapy response. Additionally 18F-FDG PET imaging has been reported as particularly useful for the diagnosis of leukemias in patients with non specific symptoms. In the case of acute leukemias it revealed also a role for the evaluation of extramedullary forms while in the case of chronic forms a role for the assessment of Richter transformation has been reported.
摘要：
18F-FDGPET成像可以揭示白血病患者的主要发现是急性或慢性形式的骨髓（BM）浸润。这种能力可以影响和指导BM活检的使用，但也可以评估治疗反应。此外，据报道，18F-FDGPET成像特别适用于诊断具有非特异性症状的患者的白血病。在急性白血病的情况下，它还揭示了评估髓外形式的作用，而在慢性形式的情况下，已报道了评估里氏转化的作用。
