Assessment of Indeterminate Pulmonary Nodules Detected in Lung Cancer Screening: Diagnostic Accuracy of FDG PET/CT

Highlights • PET is accurate in characterizing indeterminate lung nodules detected in lung cancer screening. • A nodule is likely to be benign or represent an indolent cancer if is PET negative. • A lung cancer is highly suspected if the nodule is PET positive. • Semi-quantitative analysis does not...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • PET is accurate in characterizing indeterminate lung nodules detected in lung cancer screening. • A nodule is likely to be benign or represent an indolent cancer if is PET negative. • A lung cancer is highly suspected if the nodule is PET positive. • Semi-quantitative analysis does not improve the accuracy of visual analysis for nodule assessment.
