Other Imaging Findings
FDG-PET scan (Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scans) may be helpful in the diagnosis of pneumoconiosis. Findings on an FDG-PET scan suggestive of/diagnostic of pneumoconiosis include helping to differentiate between progressive massive fibrosis in pneumoconiosis and lung cancer. [1]
