Most of the papers in this field show that PET/ceCT is able to improve the diagnostic accuracy in the assessment of HD in spleen and liver, leading to a significantly more intensive treatment in these patients, 17 , 18 whereas in other studies the differences at staging did not reach statistical significance showing a good correlation between the different imaging modalities (PET/ceCT and PET/ldCT). 19 , 20 The aim of this study is the evaluation of the differences at staging for both nodal and extranodal sites of HD localization by means of PET/ldCT and PET/ceCT performed in the same examination session.
