Abstract:Objectives
To determine the image characteristics associated with low 18F-FDG (18F-fluorodeoxyglucose) avidity among 8-15 mm solid lung cancer.
Methods
Patients satisfying the following criteria were included: underwent surgery between January 2014 and December 2019 for lung cancer, presented 8-15 mm nodule without measurable ground glass component on preoperative CT, and underwent 18F-FDG PET before resection. Image characte… Show more
