Evaluation of pulmonary nodules: area-detector CT versus other multi-detector row CT.

摘要

I read with interest the article by Dr Ohno and colleagues (1), "Differentiation of Malignant and Benign Pulmonary Nodules with Quantitative First-Pass 320-Detector Row Perfusion CT versus FDG PET/CT," which appeared in the February 2011 issue of Radiology. It was reported that 320-detector row computed tomography (CT) was more suitable for distinguishing malignant from benign nodules than positron emission tomography (PET)/CT (1). However, I cannot agree with the authors' conclusion.
