Development and Validation of a 18F-FDG PET-Based Radiomic Model for Evaluating Hypermetabolic Mediastinal–Hilar Lymph Nodes in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Abstract

Our study revealed that PET radiomics signature, especially when integrated with CT imaging features, showed the ability to identify true and false positives of mediastinal-hilar LNM detected by PET/CT in patients with NSCLC, which would help clinicians to make individual treatment decisions.
