Is to compare F-18 FDG PET/CT to routine CT in staging of non-small lung cancer and effect on change management.
PET is most widely used in thoracic oncology because of its superiority over other imaging techniques in staging nodal and metastatic disease, however, the poor anatomic details of PET can lead to errors in diagnosis and staging.
• To solve this problem, CT is combined with PET to provide matched morphological and functional data. The diagnostic capability of PET/CT in the preoperative staging of lung cancer is superior to that of CT alone and PET alone as it has the advantage of a more accurate assignment of tumor stage (T stage) and defining the lymph node stage (N stage) as well as reduction of the number of useless thoracotomies
