Positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography is a valuable imaging modality for investigating lung cancer. The most widely employed radiotracer is 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG). This chapter will answer the common questions about FDG PET and non-FDG PET tracers and their clinical applications, advantages, limitations, and pitfalls/challenges in imaging lung cancer.

摘要

Positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography is a valuable imaging modality for investigating lung cancer. The most widely employed radiotracer is 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG). This chapter will answer the common questions about FDG PET and non-FDG PET tracers and their clinical applications, advantages, limitations, and pitfalls/challenges in imaging lung cancer.
