Abstract
Dual time point FDG-PET demonstrates similar sensitivity and specificity to single time point FDG-PET in the diagnosis of pulmonary nodules. The additive value of the dual time point FDG-PET is questionable, primarily because of the significant overlap of benign and malignant nodule FDG-PET characteristics and lack of consensus criteria for quantitative thresholds to define nodules as malignant.
