The efficacy of Positron Emission Tomography with F-18 FDG in distinguishing benign from malignant lesions is evaluated and compared in three clinically distinct patient populations. Twenty-four patients with pulmonary lesions or thoracic lymph nodes suspicious for malignancy underwent FDG PET scanning. Pathologic proof of diagnosis was obtained for all patients by thoracotomy (n=18), endobronchial biopsy (n=3), mediastinoscopy (n=2) or sputum cytology (n=1).
