Detecting recurrent or residual lung cancer with FDG-PET

摘要: We investigated the diagnostic accuracy of FDG-PET in detection recurrent lung cancer. Methods: Thirty-nine lesions 38 patients with clinically suspected or residual cancer were studied PET. All PET images visually interpreted conjunction thoracic CT MRI. Semiquantitative analysis using standardized uptake values (SUVs) was also performed 25 lesions. diagnoses correlated pathological and clinical outcome. Results: The sensitivity specificity for detecting tumors 100% (26/26) 61.5% (8/13), respectively. difference mean SUV between noncancerous statistically significant [11.2 ± 5.7 (n = 16) vs. 3.5 1.8 9), p
