This thesis analyzes whether radioactive tracers [18F] FLT and [18F] FDG facilitate early non-invasive evaluation of dose-dependent response to chemotherapy as a treatment for aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Furthermore, it establishes whether [18F] FLT is predominant over [18F] FDG. To answer these questions, both in vitro tests and mouse models were performed. The results show that the evaluation of early response to anti-proliferative treatment of high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphomas is possible with [18F] F FLT PET. With regard to early treatment response, [18F] FLT proved a higher predictive potential than [18F] FDG.
