Diagnostic Performance of PET or PET/CT with Different Radiotracers in Patients with Suspicious Lung Cancer or Pleural Tumours according to Published Meta-Analyses

<div>Two examples of solitary pulmonary nodules characterized by <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT. (a) Axial <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT image showing absence of significant radiopharmaceutical uptake in a pulmonary nodule of the right lung with a diameter of about 1 cm. Histology showed a benign tumour. (b) Axial <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT image showing increased radiopharmaceutical uptake in a pulmonary nodule of the left lung with a diameter of about 2 cm. Histology showed a malignant tumour.</div>
