Abstract

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of the chest HRCT combined with 18F-FDG PET-CT in the diagnosis of isolated pulmonary abrasion of the lung. Methods Retrospective analysis of 30 pathologically confirmed cases of pulmonary isolated glass nodules from June 2015 to January 2017, the dual-phase imaging findings of HRCT and 18FFDG PET-CT were performed successively, the results were compared with the results of pathological examination. Results The conventional and delayed imaging SUVmax in malignant lung is significantly higher than that in patients with benign lesions, P<0.05, the difference was statistically significant, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of the combined chest HRCT and 18F-FDG PET-CT were significantly higher than those of the other two, P<0.05, the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion Chest HRCT and 18F-FDG PET-CT examination can complement with each other, it can significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy of pulmonary isolated single-pure glass nodules, lower misdiagnosis rate
