Comparative Study[Comparative analysis of the informative value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose and 11C-methionine positron emission tomography in the differential diagnosis of solitary lung masses].
To study the possibilities of enhancing the efficiency of differential diagnosis of solitary lung masses by optimizing the quantitative analysis of positron emission tomography (PET) data when two radiopharmaceuticals (RP) (18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) and 11C-methionine) are used alone and in combination. ⋯ When RP is used alone, the diagnostic efficiency of C-methionine PET in the differential diagnosis of lung tumors and inflammations is higher than that of 18F-FDG PET. At the same time, the highest PET is seen when 18F-FDG and 11C-methionine are used in combination.
