[Different evaluations of the staging of Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) with computer tomography and lymphography by different observers].
In this report, the differences in the evaluation of CT and lymphography findings by different observers is discussed. The study included 132 men and 79 women (146 NHL and 65 Hodgkin lymphomas). A total of 185 CT examinations and 78 lymphographies were available for reevaluation. In the lymphographies, discongruent findings were reported twice as frequently as in the CT scans (15% and 9%). An optimized examination protocol for CT and consistent criteria for the interpretation of lymphographic findings could possible lead to a better diagnostic evaluation.
