Overview
Other diagnostic studies include bone scintigraphy, PET scan, and molecular tests.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Bone Scintigraphy
- Bone scan may demonstrate bone metastases.
PET scan
- FDG (18 F fluoro-deoxyglucose) PET scans along with contrast enhanced CT may be helpful in the evaluation of the extent of lung cancer. Findings on FDG-PET/CT suggestive of lung cancer include:[1][2]

|
Molecular Test
- Molecular tests include epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) mutation.
- Specific targeted agents may be administered to patients if these mutations are present.
