Improved discrimination between benign and malignant LDCT screening-detected lung nodules with dynamic over static (18)F-FDG PET as a function of injected dose

Lung cancer mortality rate can be significantly reduced by up to 20% through routine low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening, which, however, has high sensitivity but low specificity, resulting in a high rate of false-positive nodules. Combining PET with CT may provide more accurate diagnosis...
