1. Discuss the pathophysiology and classification of lymphoma.
2. Discuss the value of molecular imaging, in particular FDG PET imaging in the detection, staging, assessment of response to therapy and detection of recurrence of lymphoma.
3. Discuss the differences in metabolic activityand FDG avidity of various lymphoma types with pathological correlation.
4. Discuss mimickers of lymphoma.
I. Classification of lymphomas.
