Dynamic fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET for evaluating different-sized metastatic lymph nodes in patients with non-small cell lung cancers
Compared with static PET features and CT features, the dynamic PET parameter Ki demonstrated superior diagnostic performance in differentiating metastatic from nonmetastatic LNs, particularly in the group of small LNs. After optimization of the cutoff value, the Ki improved the clinical applicability in identifying metastatic LNs.
