pubmed:abstractText |
Whole-body (WB) positron emission tomography (PET) with 2-[(18)F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) is more accurate than other imaging studies for detecting lung cancer and extrathoracic metastatic disease. Thoracic PET (from the skull base through the kidneys) may be equally as useful as WB PET (skull base to mid-thigh). With the recent introduction of hybrid CT-PET systems, use of thoracic PET would minimize radiation dose.
