Abstract:Introduction:
This study aims to evaluate the value of the quantitative metabolic parameters derived from dynamic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/CT (PET/CT) in the differential diagnosis of lung cancer and predicting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status.
Methods:
We included 147 patients with lung lesions who were enrolled to perform FDG PET/CT dynamic + static imaging with informed consent. Based on the results of puncture and postoperative pathology, the patien… Show more
