Abstract
2-deoxy-2-(18Fluorine)-fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) PET/CT is an integral part of lung carcinoma staging and frequently used in the assessment of solitary pulmonary nodules. However, a limitation of conventional three-dimensional PET/CT when imaging the thorax is its susceptibility to motion artefact, which blurs the signal from the lesion resulting in inaccurate representation of size and metabolic activity. Respiratory gated (four-dimensional)...
