Abstract:
Objective: To assess the peculiarity in fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in patients with bronchial alveolar carcinoma. Methods: From December, 1998 to April, 2002, 22 patients with bronchial alveolar carcinoma (BAC) were imaged with FDG-PET (positron emission tomography) before surgery. Their maximum and mean standard uptake value (SUVmax and SUVmean ) of tumor and SUV of normal lung (SUVlung) were measured. Results: All tumors were detected by FDG-PET. FDG uptake of tumor was higher than that of normal lung (P
