Abstract:Purpose
[18F]-FDG PET/CT and brain MRI are common approaches to detect metastasis in patients of lung cancer. Current guidelines for the use of PET/CT and MRI in clinical T1-category lung cancer lack risk-based stratification and require optimization. This study stratified patients based on metastatic risk in terms of the lesions' size and morphological characteristics.
Methods
The detection rate of metastasis was measured in different sizes and morphologi… Show more
