摘要: A lung positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that uses a radioactive substance (called a tracer) to look for disease in the lungs, particularly lung cancer. Unlike magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans, which reveal the...
In a PET scan, the a type of radioactive sugar is injected into the patient’s bloodstream. Since the cancer cells consume large amounts of sugar quickly, a camera is spots this kind of radioactivity. More importantly, this type of imaging test helps understand if cancer has spread to othe...
For accurate lung cancer staging, multi-modality approaches are used such as positron emission tomography (PET) scan, computed tomography (CT) scan, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) biopsy or mediastinoscope biopsy of mediastinal lymph node, pleural tapping procedure, or video-assisted thoracoscopic ...

PET (positron emission tomography) scan To get a more detailed look at the nodule. The size and shape may provide more information on the likelihood it is cancerous or noncancerous. Biopsy A test in which doctors remove a small amount of tissue from the nodule. The tissue is examined clos...
PET scan: A small amount of radioactive material is injected into the bloodstream and is taken up by cells that are very active, like cancer cells. This helps show where the cancer has spread. Video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS): A doctor will insert a lighted tube with a video camera thro...
Talc pleurodesis induces a strong local inflammatory reaction which can be detected by PET scan for years after the procedure. When patients undergo PET sc... H Peek,WVD Bruggen,G Limonard - 《Case Reports in Medicine》 被引量: 11发表: 2015年 PET positive pleural plaques decades after pleu...
Positron emission tomography (PET) scan:During this test, the body is injected with radioactive sugar. Because cancer cells are more active, they soak up this sugar. Then a special machine takes pictures to show where the sugar went, helping doctors see and track cancer. ...
A bone scan can determine whether the cancer has spread to the bones. A bone scan and bone X-rays, particularly in the absence of PET scan availability, can determine whether the cancer has spread to the bones. Molecular testing on the cancerous tissue may help to determine eligibility for...
We considered 2 PET studies to be false negatives (1 in the lung and 1 in the kidney) where malignancy was proven by thoracotomy and laparotomy. The accuracy of PET scanning in the assessment of those additional lesions found on CT evaluation of otherwise operable NSCLC was found to be 89.2...
