Patients and Material
The dataset acquired as part of our previous study on MIR imaging of human lymphomas was used [13]. This dataset includes MIR measurements of six cases of FL and 12 cases of DLBCL (five germinal centre (GCB) and seven non-germinal centre (non-GCB) subtypes), which were diagnosed between 2002 and 2012 at the Institute of Pathology, Neuropathology, and Molecular Pathology, Medical University of Innsbruck. Reactive (normal) lymph nodes (rLN) served as control. The study was conducted according to the IHC-GCP guidelines and the declaration of Helsinki. Ethical approval was obtained from the ethical committee of the Medical University of Innsbruck (EK-Nr.1213/2017). For information on initial sample preparation and MIR imaging, please refer to Willenbacher E et al. (2021) [13].
