Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how well total lesion glycolysis (TLG) from 18F-FDG PET/CT scans could distinguish between malignant and benign solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs).
- Conducted at Istanbul Medeniyet University over four years, the observational study analyzed data from 80 patients with SPNs through various PET-CT parameters.
- Findings showed that combining TLG with SUVmax improved the diagnostic accuracy, with TLG revealing higher sensitivity and specificity in identifying malignant nodules compared to SUVmax alone.
