Abstract
The significance of a subcentimetre (18)F-FDG PET/CT pulmonary abnormality in a patient with known extrapulmonary primary malignancy can have a major impact on the clinical management of the patient. The clinician's reliance on the semi-quantitative and qualitative PET/CT analysis of the abnormality has, at times, led to untoward diagnostic problems, given the limited spatial resolution of PET for a small volume lesion performed as part of the standard PET/CT study. This paper highlights a case each of an FDG-positive and an FDG-negative focal pulmonary abnormality in a combined PET/CT study of patients with known extrapulmonary malignancy. © 2010 Biomedical Imaging and Intervention Journal.

亚厘米F-FDG PET/CT对已知肺外恶性肿瘤患者肺异常的意义。
在已知肺外原发性恶性肿瘤患者中，亚厘米(18)F-FDG PET/CT肺异常的意义可能对患者的临床治疗产生重大影响。临床医生对异常的半定量和定性PET/CT分析的依赖，有时会导致不利的诊断问题，因为作为标准PET/CT研究的一部分，PET对小体积病变的空间分辨率有限。本文重点介绍了在已知肺外恶性肿瘤患者的PET/CT联合研究中，fdg阳性和fdg阴性局灶性肺异常的一个病例。©2010生物医学成像与干预杂志。版权所有。
