- •
PET is accurate in characterizing indeterminate lung nodules detected in lung cancer screening.
- •
A nodule is likely to be benign or represent an indolent cancer if is PET negative.
- •
A lung cancer is highly suspected if the nodule is PET positive.
- •
Semi-quantitative analysis does not improve the accuracy of visual analysis for nodule assessment.
