Abstract:Background: Brain metastases are frequent complications for lung cancer patients. However, changes in the brain of lung cancer patients have received little attention. We aimed to explore whether alterations in brain glucose uptake and brain texture occur in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and to investigate associations between brain alterations and NSCLC via the uEXPLORER positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) system.
Methods:In total, 105 participants were enrolled, including … Show more
