Abstract

Introduction

The characterization of pulmonary nodules (PN) is a primary indication for [¹⁸F]-FDG PET/CT. However, respiratory movements hinder this characterization, especially for PN located in the lower lobes. Various methods have been developed to improve image resolution.

Objective

Our objective was to compare the diagnostic efficacy of [¹⁸F]-FDG PET/CT in deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) versus free-breathing corrected by software, in the evaluation of PN.

Methods

We prospectively analyzed 51 patients to assess PN using [¹⁸F]-FDG PET/CT in DIBH and free-breathing corrected by software. A total of 84 nodules with an average size of 10 mm were analyzed, with pathological anatomy or medical treatment decisions by a multidisciplinary tumor board used as reference.

Results

A total of 84 PN were evaluated, comparing those in DIBH versus free-breathing, finding statistically significant differences in SUVmax values (P<.05) (mean SUVmax 3.7 in free-breathing vs. 5.33 in DIBH). When analyzed by location in lobes, we did not find statistically significant differences, though there was a trend towards higher SUVmax values in the lower lobes. [18F]-FDG PET/CT in DIBH showed high sensitivity (95%) and negative predictive value (NPV) (92%), indicating it may be a promising tool for PN characterization.

Conclusions

The acquisition of [¹⁸F]-FDG PET/CT in DIBH significantly improves the sensitivity and diagnostic efficacy in the assessment of PN. Although no statistically significant differences were found based on location, there is a potential benefit for the lower lobes. These findings could support its use in clinical practice.

期刊介绍： The Revista Española de Medicina Nuclear e Imagen Molecular (Spanish Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging), was founded in 1982, and is the official journal of the Spanish Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, which has more than 700 members. The Journal, which publishes 6 regular issues per year, has the promotion of research and continuing education in all fields of Nuclear Medicine as its main aim. For this, its principal sections are Originals, Clinical Notes, Images of Interest, and Special Collaboration articles.
