Although lymphography may be more accurate in assessing the extent of abdominal and pelvic Hodgkin's lymphoma, computed tomography (CT) has similar or greater overall accuracy than other imaging modalities in detecting malignant lymph nodes in the neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis. In this early stage of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, its depiction of nodes is apparently mostly similar to that of CT. In addition, MR imaging shows the capacity to distinguish between enlarged lymph nodes caused by acute inflammation and those caused by malignant processes.
尽管淋巴造影术在评估腹部和盆腔霍奇金淋巴瘤的范围方面可能更准确，但计算机断层扫描（CT）在检测颈部、胸部、腹部和盆腔的恶性淋巴结方面，其总体准确性与其他成像方式相似或更高。在磁共振（MR）成像的这个早期阶段，它对淋巴结的描绘显然大多与CT相似。此外，MR成像显示出能够区分由急性炎症引起的淋巴结肿大和由恶性病变引起的淋巴结肿大。
