Role of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation in radiological ground-glass opacity of non-small cell lung cancer
A higher accumulation of FDG than in the background lung reflects invasive components even in pure GGO areas where only non-invasive components are expected. An FDG-PET/CT can complement the qualitative diagnosis in predicting invasive components with limitations in high-resolution computed tomography alone.
