Overview
Other imaging studies include PET/CT scanning, which may be useful as a staging modality, detection of occult disease, and malignancy assessment.
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]
- False negative results for pulmonary nodule characterization include:
- Small lesion size
- Low tumor metabolic activity
- Hyperglycemia
