Overview
Other imaging studies include PET/CT scanning, which may be useful as a staging modality, detection of occult disease, and malignancy assessment.[1]
Other Imaging Findings
PET/CT
- Other imaging studies include PET/CT scanning, which may be useful as a staging modality, detection of occult disease, and malignancy assessment.[1]
- On PET/CT, findings of pulmonary nodule, may include:[2]
- FDG uptake
- Likely malignant
- No FDG uptake
- Likely benign
False negative results for pulmonary nodule characterization, include:
- Small lesion size
- Low tumor metabolic activity
- Hyperglycemia
