Abstract

Objective. The purpose of our study is to improve radiologists' understanding of theclinical issues involved in making a diagnosis and to guide further diagnostic workup and treatment of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs). Conclusion. Information on the morphologic and hemodynamic characteristics ofSPNs provided by dynamic helical CT, with high specificity and reasonably high accuracy, canbe used for initial assessment. PET/CT is more sensitive at detecting malignancy than dynamichelical CT, and all malignant nodules may be potentially diagnosed as malignant by both tech-niques. Therefore, PET/CT may be selectively performed to characterize SPNs that show in-determinate results at dynamic helical CT.
