J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1988 Sep-Oct;12(5):785-91. doi: 10.1097/00004728-198809010-00013.

Abstract

Seventy-six patients with either Hodgkin disease or non-Hodgkin lymphoma underwent magnetic resonance (MR) imaging as part of their evaluation. In this report the unique and common MR findings of these neoplasms are reviewed in each of the major anatomic sites. Further, the impact of these findings on therapy decisions and follow-up is emphasized.
