Lymphoma
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to define a reference population for FDG-PET neurological examinations starting from patients having FDG-PET to supervise a non-complicated lymphoma (tumor in remission, low disabling chronic tumor).
Detailed description
This study will also check normality of cerebral functions in this population and analyse the influence of various variation factors, such as age, sex ratio, education level, professional activity and neuropsychological test results on normal data. This database could be later used as comparison to patient images defining the gravity and localization of their cerebral functional disorders.
Interventions
FDG injection followed by cerebral examination with X ray spiral CT after 40 minutes and FDG-PET after 60 minutes
