18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose and 11C‐acetate positron emission tomography are useful modalities for diagnosing the histologic type of thymoma

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to clarify the usefulness of positron emission tomography (PET) using18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and carbon 11‐labeled acetate (AC) for predicting the histologic types and tumor invasiveness of thymoma in a multicenter study. METHODS: Forty thymomas were...
