Biopsy decision for intermediate–high-risk lung nodules is significantly changed when guided by prior positron emission tomography/CT (PET/CT) results: results of the prospective PET-FIRST study

In patients with lung nodules of intermediate-high risk for lung cancer, fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT performed prior to any biopsy of the nodule has a significant effect in determining biopsy choice.
