PET-CT Used for Lung Cancer Diagnosis May Be Less Effective in Areas Where Infectious Lung Disease Is More Common
An analysis of data gleaned from 70 studies revealed that use of the diagnostic imaging modality fluorodeoxyglucose F18-positron emission tomography combined with CT may not effectively differentiate benign disease from lung cancer in patients with endemic infectious lung disease compared with nonendemic regions, according to recent research.
