Overview
Other imaging studies for thymic carcinoma include FDG PET scan. The standarized uptake value (SUV) in the FDG PET is much higher for the thymic carcinoma than thymoma, with a high sensitivity (84.6%) and specificity (92.3%).[1][2]
Other Imaging Findings
FDG PET
FDG (Fludeoxyglucose) PET is a useful image study that allows differentiation between a thymoma and thymic carcinoma. The standarized uptake value (SUV) in the FDG PET is much higher for the thymic carcinoma, with a high sensitivity (84.6%) and specificity (92.3%).[1][2]
