Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is a slow-growing blood cancer affecting lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. It often causes no symptoms in its early stages and may be found unexpectedly. An MRI may show enlarged lymph nodes and spleen consistent with leukaemic involvement. Finding chronic lymphocytic leukaemia early allows for monitoring and treatment that may help prevent it from progressing to cause significant symptoms. MRI can assess lymphadenopathy and organ involvement in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Blood tests and bone marrow biopsy are the primary diagnostic tools.
