Positron emission tomography with CT in the evaluation of non‐small cell lung cancer in populations with a high prevalence of tuberculosis

Abstract

Positron emission tomography with CT for the evaluation and follow-up of solitary pulmonary nodule and NSCLC can provide additional useful information to conventional radiology for treatment planning and a non-invasive determination of prognosis. However, physicians need to be aware of the limitations of this imaging modality, particularly when tuberculosis has a high prevalence in the population.
