The Value of ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT Mathematical Prediction Model in Diagnosis of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules

Figure 3

A typical PET/CT finding in a 54-year-old male patient. (a) On CT image, the nodule in the right middle lobe is observed (arrow); the maximum diameter of nodule is 16 mm. (b) On PET and (c) on PET/CT image, increased ¹⁸F-FDG uptake is detected; = 3.9. (d) Pathologic examination suggests gland squamous cell carcinoma. The value calculated by our model is 0.73. The result of our model is consistent with PET/CT and pathological results.
